PVS-Studio warning V668 for FlightGear

static rawImageRec *RawImageOpen(std::istream& fin)
{
  ....
  if( (raw->tmpR =
         new unsigned char [raw->sizeX*raw->bpc]) == NULL )
  {
    RawImageClose(raw);
    return NULL;
  }
  ....
}

This suspicious code was found in FlightGear project by PVS-Studio static code analyzer.
Warning message is:
V668 There is no sense in testing the 'raw->tmpR' pointer against null, as the memory was allocated using the 'new' operator. The exception will be generated in the case of memory allocation error. fgrgbtextureloader.cxx 209
