Memory allocation: abort on failure?

["W. Borgert" <debacle debian org>]

Hi,

on the Ethereal mailing list is a discussion on how to get rid of
glib in Ethereal
(http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200509/msg00027.html).
An explanation on why people don't like glib is given by Guy Harris
(http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200509/msg00032.html).
Note, that Ethereal currently can be build with either Gtk+1/glib1
or Gtk+2/glib2, as some platforms seem to have problems with
Gtk+2/glib2.  Could someone explain, whether the problem exists
with current glib versions?

Cheers, W. Borgert
