    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Although I agree that the name:
      "GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS" is misleading,<br>
      I can't identify anything else that seems more appropriate. <br>
      <br>
      The header file: 
      /jdk8-tl/jdk/src/share/native/sun/security/jgss/wrapper/gssapi.h
      defines GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS as follows:<br>
      #define GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS ((gss_channel_bindings_t) 0)<br>
      <br>
      The symbol matches the prototype of the function:<br>
      <blockquote><b><font face="Courier 10 Pitch">/*<br>
             * Utility routine which creates a gss_channel_bindings_t

            gss_channel_bindings_t getGSSCB(JNIEnv *env, jobject jcb) {<br>

            <br>
              if (jcb == NULL) {<br>
                return GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS;<br>
              }<br>
                cb = malloc(sizeof(struct gss_channel_bindings_struct));<br>
            <br>
                if(cb == NULL)<br>
                    return  GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS;</font></b><br>

      There doesn't appear to be anything in our set of options that is
      more suggestive of a memory allocation failure and the symbol:
      GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS seems to be logically correct.<br>
      <br>
      Ideas?<br>

Not sure GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS; is correct return value for this case.

I'm second to Valerie - it's better to throw OOM

I modified the native code to eliminate potential memory loss and crashes by checking the return values of malloc() and realloc() calls.

The webrev image of these changes is visible at:
