Here is another broken X program.  Notice the assumption that
malloc() returns zeroed memory.

xhost.c:

    namelen = strlen(name);
    if ((lname = (char *)malloc(namelen)) == NULL) {
        fprintf (stderr, "%s: malloc bombed in change_host\n", ProgramName);
        exit (1);
    }
    for (i = 0; i < namelen; i++) {
        lname[i] = tolower(name[i]);
    }
    if (!strncmp("inet:", lname, 5)) {
    ...
    ...
