Subject:   phk malloc() sometimes forget to set errno
Message-ID:  <20020807232750.GA1168@nagual.pp.ru>

I found at least one case:

--------------------------------------------
imalloc(...)
...
if ((size + malloc_pagesize) < size)        /* Check for overflow */
	result = 0;
...
return result;
--------------------------------------------

I.e. NULL returned, but errno is not set and can be even 0

Please fix this bug. According to POSIX, ENOMEM is required at least, but
EINVAL here is more applicable (as POSIX extension).
