Not necessarily, for example fprintf may fail. There _may_ be a fair
chance to succeed if you use write(2) directly, but that's it
basically, and ENOMEM is always there waiting for you...
Right, if malloc() failed write(2) is likely to fail as well. More
likely, in fact, since malloc() may have unused process memory to draw
upon whereas write(2) can only allocate kernel memory.
