Why OPENSSL_malloc() in particular?
I looked for other malloc calls in that file and only example I've found
was OPENSSL_malloc in show_available_curves().
On the other side Dr. Stephen Henson says (quote unedited):

You don't have to use OPENSSL_malloc() in an application but you do
you can make use of OpenSSLs memory leak checking routines if you do.

introduced a variable length array. Although C99 supports that, MSVS 2013 still
requires
size of array to be compiler time constant. As a fix, use OPENSSL_malloc/free.

(As I have no clue about the intricacies of openssl-interfacing code, this
might be a stupid question, but it looks like "normal gc_malloc() should
be perfectly fine")
