Ah: nice catch, Larry. I would say that the obmalloc case shouldn't be permissible; however, it's already there, and changing that would be an involved task that would also likely risk introducing new bugs. So I guess practicality beats purity on that one. I don't see that as an excuse for introducing new undefined behaviour though, especially for a small optimization.
