Similar as the preceding commit, we may try to do a zero-sized allocation when reloading a reftable stack that ain't got any tables. It is implementation-defined whether malloc(3p) returns a NULL pointer in that case or a zero-sized object. In case it does return a NULL pointer though it causes us to think we have run into an out-of-memory situation, and thus we return an error. Fix this by only allocating arrays when they have at least one entry. Reported-by: Randall S.
