This is not the only change recently that assumes that malloc and  
friends will never return NULL in a success case; k5-int.h:k5alloc  
makes that assumption too.  Are you assuming that the krb5 code will  
never make a call requesting zero bytes?  (Or asserting that it  
shouldn't and any such cases are bugs; or actually checking the call  
sites?)  Or is this just an oversight?
