[comp.windows.x] Xt unportability

Matthew.Diamond@MAPS.CS.CMU.EDU (07/17/90)

That was fast.  Turns out in R4 there is a switch to compile libX11
(MALLOC_0_RETURNS_NULL) for systems that return NULL when asked to allocate
0 bytes.  (All the switch does is add a check: if someone asks for 0 bytes,
the call to malloc will actually request 1 byte.)

Thanks for the quick responses.
