[gnugo-devel] 3.5.4 on Tru64: assertion failure in ld_owl

[a . rburgers]

ld_owl test 17 results in an assertion failure:

***assertion failure:
owl.c:3611 - list->pattern_heap != 0L near PASS***

the problem is that list->counter is 0 in the malloc call
at line 3609. The tru64 malloc returns NULL when
allocating 0 bytes. This behaviour may deviate for
other malloc implementations. The cygwin malloc
for instance according to the man-page returns a
non-null pointer when allocating 0 bytes.
