malloc error checking

Hmmm... I've seen a few places where it's assumed that malloc() will
be successful. One particularly disturbing place is alloc.c where
if malloc_block()'s malloc fails, it simply returns NULL. Note that
new_block() doesn't check the return value.

Shouldn't we adjust things so if malloc()s fail, we perror and exit?
