Be sure to read this thread in order -- the conclusion of the thread

I think that this will require a little tomfoolery to fix properly
because we can't simply return NULL (you can't expect to use the

Excellent! As reference, MPICH2 seems to return different pointers for
size=0, but perhaps this happens because it falls to use system
malloc, and in my box this always return different, non-null pointers.
