I think some pre-ANSI C libraries could crash if a null pointer were passed to
free().

However, any C library with a free() that crashes if passed a null pointer is
not compliant with the C89 standard - the ANSI C spec says of free() that "If
'ptr' is a null pointer, no action occurs."

I'd expect glibc to be C89-compliant.
