attached you will find a new patch that has been rebased to the current master.

I think the configure help text and commit message could use some improvement.

This option only disables the random fill of the free data, it still overwrites memory - only with zeros instead. So it doesn't disable memory overwrite at all.

A question though: is there really anyone who suggests that it is safer to fill the data with random data rather than just zeros? I just can't see the point with doing such a slow operation and waste random seed on this.
