I don't know when it wouldn't. I personally wrote the code to zero out a
page on its first reference after GETMAIN back in the '70s. But as has
been discussed here, if it is part of a page that is FREEMAINed and then
the same address is returned by a subsequent GETMAIN, data may likely be
present from its last use. That is unless subsequent versions were
modified to clear any newly GETMAINed storage.

What is the case where it would not return a zeroed page?

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
