Stephen, thanks fixing the bug found by Coverity.  I added the assignment of min_msecs after some testing when I realized it was always 0, but obviously stuck it in the wrong place.

But you also changed g_malloc0() to g_try_malloc0(); however, that function wasn't available until glib 2.8.  Should we change it back, or is it perhaps time to increase the minimum required glib version?

- Chris

Log:
 Fix Coverity 1181: REVERSE_INULL & improve code:

  - Use g_try_malloc0() instead of g_malloc0() since the latter will
    fail and abort the program.  Leave the NULL return check.
  - Don't dereference pointer before checking that it's valid.
