Yeah, I think Paolo is right, this might be a thunderbird bug. It looks OK
in the original patch I sent.

I could go either way on this one. Up until now we only ever returned 0 or
1 from this function, but with the memory allocation, we can also have -1
(for failure). I guess I'll re-code it to return -1, and then I can use
virOOMError here.
Thanks for the review.
