Modified Files:
        basesrc/lib/libc/stdlib: malloc.3 malloc.c

Log Message:
Restore the behaviour of not setting errno to ENOMEM when allocating 0
units of storage and returning a null pointer in System V mode; this was
broken by the `fix' in rev. 1.24.  Also, as it is stated in ISO C that
such operation does not constitute an allocation failure, do not abort()
even if the `X' option is set.

Amusingly enough the SVID, Fourth Edition, specifies the `unique pointer'
return behaviour for this kind of allocation, so this is kind of mis-named.
