For example: in the MS DOS, it is perfectly valid to allocate a memory

It appears that surprisingly many programs are actually making the
requests of zero bytes, so here is a compatibility problem.

Let me guess... the 0 byte malloc code is in the runtime libraries for
Microsoft C, so that no kosher program will run properly on non-kosher
DOS clones.
