I ran into this and fixed it.  If I remember right, it was
because malloc(0) returns an error status.  The fix was
(again if I remember right) to add 1 to the argument expression
of the offending malloc() call in lib/kadm/kadm_cli_wrap.c.
(There is exactly one place where the argument has the
potential to evaluate to 0).

If you can't find the place, let me know and I'll dig out
the diffs.
