Summary: bsddb module doesn't check return value of malloc()

Details: The bsddbmodule often uses code like this:

if (krec.size > sizeof(buf)) data = malloc(krec.size);
else data = buf;
memcpy(data,krec.data,krec.size);

If malloc() returns NULL, this will do a memcpy() using
NULL as the dest point.
