[Bug 1123588] Re: wrong usage of the `malloc' function attribute

[James Hunt]

I've discussed this with Scott. He believes the description of the
malloc attribute has changed since libnih first started using it. The
current description does make its use in libnih and upstart invalid
seemingly.

  I think we need a reproducer in upstart, which doesn't just hang.
