Malloc bug?

I've been working on a GTK program for a while now, and I've been
experiencing segfaults within malloc. I was under the impression that
malloc should always return successfully (at least that's what the man
page says). Any ideas what may be causing this? I don't know if this has
anything to do with it, but the kernel I was using generated lots of
vm_do_try_free_pages failed error logs but not necessarily during program
execution.
