memset(…, 0, …) call by calloc()?

* Add also a null pointer check for the detection of a memory allocation failure.

* Would you like to improve such a change description another bit
(with tags like “Fixes” and “Cc”)?

* How do you think about to omit the statement “fprintf(stderr, "Out of memory\n");”?

* I suggest to omit the word “potential” from the summary phrase.
