Right. Thanks.
I should have been clearer on my question. I'll try again.
Are there any crazy-old systems that we currently run on that will die if
free() gets a NULL?
Checking for NULL seems like a very very handy feature so I'd be surprised
if there were still any systems that didn't do that. But I've been
surprised before.
