      There are two unchecked malloc calls in the void-typed gridfs_store_stream_init function.
      To handle the possibility of NULL return, the function must return non-void. I chose "int"
      in the attached patch.

      Also, it's cleaner to use "strdup" rather than the combination of malloc and strcpy.
