That's at least important, because of possible DoS: if the value
is big and the malloc succeeds, it can take the whole memory (and
this may be very bad on machines with a lot of swap).

atop from stable is affected (but on a Debian/unstable machine,
as I couldn't reproduce the problem on a Debian/stable machine).

Perhaps because users don't run atop very often (and note that not
all machines are affected).
