[ Reguarding expecting malloced space to be 0'ed ]

ok ok already *grin* When I was programming that part of the program I
was on a 386sx20 with 4m ram and needed every bit of speed I could
get. ( granted 0'ing a block of memory is pretty fast )

The strange thing isn't that the non-zeroed space was giving me 
an error . I'd expect to see strange results at run time. But
error I was recieving was a SegFaulting in the middle of a loop. 
Thats what really though me off , looking for stray pointers , etc ...


Btw : never call a program you want to run from windows 'shell.exe'
it doesn't work.
