    lib/libkvm           kvm_proc.c 
  Log:
  Fix (for the second time) kvm_getprocs() for the case where no
  processes match the given criteria.  Since revision 1.60 of malloc.c,
  malloc() and friends return an invalid pointer when given a size of 0.
  kvm_getprocs() uses sysctl() with a NULL oldp argument to get an
  initial size, but does not check whether it's 0 before passing it to
  realloc() (via _kvm_realloc()).  Before the aforementioned malloc()
  change, this resulted in a minimal allocation made and a valid poitner
  returned, but now results in an invalid, but non-NULL, pointer being
  returned.  When this is passed to sysctl(), the latter returns EFAULT
  (as it should).
