The code was actually OK, since it didn't matter whether or not NULL or
malloc(1) was returned.  I've since changed it so that if len is 0, a
NULL is always filled in.  This should give us a bit more consisntency,
which is a good thing.  It also means we'll catch bugs caused by code
assuming that allocated strings are always non-NULL that much faster.
