I added checks for NULL return for kcalloc in the CIFS
development tree for the most important of the places 
(since the NTLMSSP and SPNEGO routines are going to 
need more changes anyway and are currently disabled
I did not add the NULL check to those three routines).

The patch can be seen at http://cifs.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5cifs/gnupatch@4263c100xtDHBiI8HNqfzh05uw0jOA
