I was contemplating adding an optional memory-scrubber to ensure that 
we're not doing that: just writing 0xdeadbeef to the ep_ and se_ alloc'd 
memory when we free it.


I was thinking the same thing ....

I fixed a few cases of this and I'm not getting any more failures with 
the sample captures I have.  Is the case you found fixed?

If so, should we turn on memory scrubbing while fuzz testing?
