Yes. [...lots of other such cases...]
Do you know of any such systems X was ever ported to?
No - not that I've gone looking, mind you. But that's hardly
surprising; X making such assumptions makes the porting effort a lot
higher in such cases.
Then hopefully the failure of test case I added in this patch (asserting that
the pointers == NULL) would help someone making such a port notice the problem
much more quickly than wondering why their server is failing because a random
structure containing a pointer was calloc'ed.
