Hello All,

   In reviewing code for Python-3.4.3 in directory
'Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/arm', file 'ffi.c', I found a pair
of calls to calloc() which do not test for a return value
of NULL, indicating failure.  The patch file below corrects
this issue:

In directory 'Modules', file 'getpath.c', I found a call to fseek()
which is not checked for a return value < 0, indicating failure.  The
patch file below corrects this issue:

I am attaching the patch file(s) to this bug report...
