When closing the FILE handle attached to a memstream, it may attempt to
do a realloc() that may fail during OOM situations, in which case we are
left with the buffer pointer pointing to NULL and buffer size > 0. For
example:
```
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void *realloc(void *ptr, size_t size) {
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *f;
char *buf;
size_t sz = 0;
f = open_memstream(&buf, &sz);
if (!f)
return -ENOMEM;
fputs("Hello", f);
fflush(f);
printf("buf: 0x%lx, sz: %lu, errno: %d\n",
(unsigned long) buf, sz, errno);
fclose(f);
printf("buf: 0x%lx, sz: %lu, errno: %d\n",
(unsigned long) buf, sz, errno);
return 0;
}
```
```
$ gcc -o main main.c
$ ./main
buf: 0x74d4a0, sz: 5, errno: 0
buf: 0x0, sz: 5, errno: 0
```
This might do unexpected things if the underlying code expects a valid
pointer to the memstream buffer after closing the handle.
