Log:
  MFC r331078 (cem): nm: Initialize allocated memory before use
  
  In out of memory scenarios (where one of these allocations failed but
  other(s) did not), nm(1) could reference the uninitialized value of these
  allocations (undefined behavior).
  
  Always initialize any successful allocations as the most expedient
  resolution of the issue.  However, I would encourage upstream elftoolchain
  contributors to clean up the error path to just abort immediately, rather
  than proceeding sloppily when one allocation fails.
