Well, not really. Linux tends to not fail malloc()s ever, instead running an "OOM killer" to kill tasks when the system is out of memory so as to free up memory. Death by OOM killer is a form of malloc() failure :) However, other operating systems don't do this (for example, Solaris doesn't -- malloc() can and does fail on Solaris when the system is out of memory).
