SVN rev 190482 on 2009-03-28 04:00:46Z by delphij
When allocating memory, zero out them if we don't intend to overwrite them
all; before freeing memory, zero out them before we release it as free
heap. This will eliminate some potential information leak issue.
While there, remove the PURIFY option. There is a slight difference between
the new behavior and the old -DPURIFY behavior, with the latter initializes
memory with 0xff's. The difference between old and new approach does not
generate observable difference.
Obtained from: OpenBSD (partly).
