Hi, thanks for the patch! I've uploaded it to zesty. I don't know if it
counts as severe enough to be SRUed to yakkety, can start that process
if you think it is :)

Title:
loadkeys segfaults with certain arguments in 16.10
Status in kbd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
This can be reproduced as follows:
1) Switch to VT 1 (ctrl+alt+f1)
2) run: loadkeys garbage
3) loadkeys will segfault
The problem appears to be with the implicit declaration of xmalloc in
loadkeys.c. It is resolved if
#include "xmalloc.h" is added to the top of that file (and in fact all the
other source files in kbd that reference xmalloc include that file).
Interestingly xmalloc is resolved without include but the returned
pointer seems to get truncated. It doesn't do this if the source is
built with gcc 5.4 in 16.04 so maybe it has something to do with gcc
6.2 in 16.10.
