<i>&gt; &gt; The memset is just more clean and doesn't leave you with garbage in the </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; top few lines (which are wrong anyway due to the lack of correction data). </i><br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Wouldn't s/malloc/calloc/ and tidy up be better style? </i><br>
<p>
Yes. I had made the patch after I got it to work right. It isn't intended to<br>
be applied to a the sane source to make a final version, just to show what <br>
is wrong.<br>
<p>
I hadn't used calloc, as when you are debugging (especially very strange<br>
errors that might be a buffer overrun), it is almost always bad to do <br>
multiple things at one.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; clearing it once immediately after allocation it could be a performance</i><br>
<i>&gt; improvement to let the libc know that when you allocate.</i><br>
<p>
Well - not that it would matter. We are talking about 0.5M max, but ...<br>
