Ah, I didn't realize that. I probably should of. The original code just
had a "die()" in it. But I know how much Namhyung loves those ;-)

I removed the die() and noticed that the other removed "die()"s also
set errno = ENOMEM. Those probably could also be removed as they happen
after "remalloc" and such.
