New description:

 The memory allocation check in this example is incorrect
 http://rtems.com/onlinedocs/doc-
 current/share/rtems/html/c_user/c_user00513.html

   foo* bar = malloc (sizeof (foo));
   if (!foo)
      return -1;

 You should have:

   foo* bar = malloc (sizeof (foo));
   if (!bar)
      return -1;

 Since bar is the pointer to the allocated memory
