You lost me there.

Sorry, editing error.  I initially tried malloc(SIZE_MAX) and got a NULL
result.  I then tried smaller values to try to find out where the cutoff
is, and didn't correctly edit the post.

Corrected version:
One data point: On my Ubuntu system, malloc() returns NULL for
very large arguments (over about 23 GiB in my quick and dirty test).
