--- Comment #1 from Ashe David Goulding <miea...@gmail.com> ---
Can be reproducible by calling `calloc()` with values that would result in
overflow. All the dynamic memory allocation system calls(malloc, calloc,
realloc) set `errno` to ENOMEM when they return NULL. This is POSIX compliant.

Granted, no one checks errno. We all assume that allocation failed when the
functions return NULL. But there are use cases where errno is used for
diagnostic purposes. That's how I found this bug anyway.

This bug is 11 years old. Would someone please at least give this bug a
verdict? I'd take WONTFIX as an answer.
