Sidestep the problem via qemu_realloc() instead?
The same change was applied to bsd-user/elfload.c.
As symbol loading is not essential in most applications,
returning after out-of-memory should be better than
aborting (that's what qemu_realloc does).
Unless the requested size is *really* large, I'd expect this to stave
off the out-of-memory failure for a few microseconds at best.
