Hi Kees,

Thanks for your encouragement!

If libwipe grew similar bit-pattern handling for new(), it could be used
for similar purposes (trying to ferret out use-after-free or
use-before-init bugs in general).

I'm not sure I understood your proposal.  Are you thinking about the
C++ new operator?  Is there a problem with MALLOC_PERTURB_?

Cheers,
Andrew
