Comment (by X512):
It look like rpmalloc bug, not Haiku.
I investigate rpmalloc souces a bit and found that if virtual memory
allocation fail "_memory_heap_extract_new_span" in
"_memory_allocate_from_heap_fallback" function returns NULL and null span
is passed in _memory_span_set_new_active that do not support null span and
crash by null pointer dereference.
