Thanks a lot! That helped - it doesn't segfault now :)

And I'm wondering - just below allocArrayNoPointers, there's
a very similar function allocArrayPointers. I see that the
only change to allocArrayNoPointers is that  || 0 == bytesPerElt
is now added. But this is not in the allocArrayPointers
function. So maybe the same should be modified in
allocArrayPointers?
