+NAME
+	xmalloc() - get memory or bust
+INDEX
+	xmalloc() uses malloc()
+
+SYNOPSIS
+	char *	my_memory;
+
+	my_memory = xmalloc(42); / * my_memory gets address of 42 chars * /
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+	Use xmalloc() as an "error-free" malloc(). It does almost the same job.
+	When it cannot honour your request for memory it BOMBS your program
+	with a "virtual memory exceeded" message. Malloc() returns NULL and
+	does not bomb your program.
