In this memcpy:
          buf = (char*)malloc(len);
          memcpy(buf, p, len);

I suspect that this crash happens if malloc fails and returns NULL. It seems like this case is for smaller allocations, so maybe the malloc() can be replaced with moz_xmalloc(). There's a version of this code in both ipc_channel_win.cc and ipc_channel_posix.cc. I read over the rest of the patch in bug 1235633 and did not see any other such issues (aside from the realloc one which has been fixed.)

This allocation is for no more than 32kb, so make it infallible rather than try to recover.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: bug 1235633
[User impact if declined]: some crashes won't be annotated as OOM crashes
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: this code is tested, but not the crashing
[Risks and why]: very low, it just makes an allocation infallible
[String/UUID change made/needed]: none

Correctly annotate said crashes as OOM crashes, Aurora47+
