Indeed, I've amended that into the commit.

(The reason I didn't do that in the first place is that it's not done in
epmd.c either, and my idea was to provide a separate commit which
changes all malloc/realloc calls to use simple wrappers which abort on
error. However, that's not as completely trivial as I initially
thought.)

Thanks, Holger
