pg_dump vs malloc

I came across a situation today with a pretty bad crash of pg_dump,
due to not checking the return code from malloc(). When looking
through the code, it seems there are a *lot* of places in pg_dump that
doesn't check the malloc return code.

But we do have a pg_malloc() function in there - but from what I can
tell it's only used very sparsely?

Shouldn't we be using that one more or less everywhere, or even #define it?

Or am I missing something in the code here?
