9.0 beta2 pg_upgrade: malloc 0 bytes patch

Running pg_upgrade against an unmodified (the output of initdb) cluster
on AIX is giving me "pg_alloc: Out of memory" errors.

On some non-linux platforms (including AIX) malloc(0) returns 0.

with the attached patch to pg_upgrade I am now able to get pg_upgrade to
convert an 8.3 database consisting of a single table to 9.0 on an AIX
server.

Great, thanks for your testing. I have applied a modified version of
the patch, attached.
