It's mostly historical. src/FSlibos.h defines it as:
#ifdef MALLOC_0_RETURNS_NULL
#define FSmalloc(size) malloc(((size) > 0 ? (size) : 1))
#else
#define FSmalloc(size) malloc((size))
#endif
(plus similar for FScalloc & FSrealloc).
The +1 for the string-ending \0 byte ensures that the size will always be >0,
thus the difference doesn't matter.
