    Add bound checking to all srfi-4 vector allocations.
    
    Do what C_allocate_vector already does and prevent the creation of a
    vector that's too big or too small.
    We should be very careful to avoid the latter case because the
    allocation size is directly fed into `malloc' as 'x + sizeof(C_header)'
    thus making possible to successfully allocate a vector smaller than the
    C_header structure and get C_block_header_init to write over
    uninitialized memory.
    
    To reduce code duplication, type checking is moved from each of the
    make-*vector procedures to the common "alloc" helper procedure.

 4.12.1
 
+- Security fixes
+  - Remove unchecked malloc() call in SRFI-4 constructors when
+    allocating in non-GC memory, resulting in potential 1-word
+    buffer overrun and/or segfault (thanks to Lemonboy).
+
 - Core Libraries
   - Unit "posix": If file-lock, file-lock/blocking or file-unlock are
     interrupted by a signal, we now retry (thanks to Joerg Wittenberger).
