I was just reminded by traffic on the issue tracker that we had
a discussion on this patch and some debate about different ways
to approach it, but never came to a conclusion.

My preference is to do what this patch does, i.e. replace
the mallocs with g_new(). I think it's a straightforward
obviously-correct update to a pretty unloved piece of code,
and I'd rather we do that than change to using static arrays.

(If anybody does have an interest in modernizing fmopl.c
more generally I have no objection; I'd just rather not hang
up this bit of general cross-codebase cleanup to stop using
raw malloc() that we're nearly done with.)

So:

MJT: are you OK with picking it up for -trivial ?
