The style(9) man page recommends the use of values defined in <sysexits.h> to indicate failure conditions. However, there is no predefined value for what is probably the most common error condition, at least in some applications - a failed malloc(), calloc() or realloc(). I therefore suggest adding the constant EX_NOMEM, with the value 79, to /usr/include/sysexits.h, and bumping EX__MAX to 79 (as well as updating the sysexits(3) man page, of course). Unless somebody strenuously objects, I'll commit the changes to -current in a couple of days.
