Malloc failures check

[Dr Paul Dale]

Adding a compile time check would be good.  I’m not sure how.
It would be possible to implement a malloc failure feature in the test suite that systematically runs a test many times, failing successive malloc calls.

I’m kind of surprised that the various static analysers hadn't found some of these.
