In relation to #46 (closed) I have discovered a bug in libinput-util.h.

In the commit 793c8d51 function zalloc(size_t size) was restricted to not allow to allocate more than 1MB of memory.

	/* We never need to alloc anything even near one MB so we can assume
	 * if we ever get above that something's going wrong */
	if (size > 1024 * 1024)
		abort();

However, libinput-record.c tries to allocate 136000 bytes which exceeds the new limit thus aborting the execution of libinput record.

A fix for that would be either to increase that limit to 1.5 MB or to decrease d->events_sz = 5000; in function init_device(struct record_context *ctx, char *path) from libinput-record.c.

I will make a merge request with the fix but I am not sure which of the proposed solutions is better.
