If nothing else use of SAFE_MALLOC() here is wrong. The call may
potentionally fail and return NULL since we are passing overly large
value there.

For example it will fail if memory overcommit is disabled and there is
not enough free memory.

So we should, at least, use malloc() instead and skip the test if NULL
was returned.
