For safety, I propose that xmalloc zero out the memory it allocates. Any
comments or rebuttals?
For safety, I would prefer it does not. I don't think we should
use non-portable solutions to cover up the faults of badly-written
software.

I was looking at that, too. I tend to feel that 0-byte allocations should be

there should be an xfree() that'll do so.
I can see the occasional need to allocate a unique
