In bug 1567437, we added memory reporting for libhyphen, by replacing its direct use of moz_xmalloc and friends with a CountingAllocator. However, this had the inadvertent side-effect of changing from infallible to fallible allocation, which is not safe; the libhyphen code assumes an infallible allocator.

So we need to ensure the HyphenReporter allocation functions are infallible.

:njn - was there something further you wanted tweaked in part 1? Phabricator says "requested changes" but I don't see any new comment...

Flags: needinfo?(n.nethercote)

D'uh - sorry, clearly a lack of coffee or something! Will update.
