Until 2011-08-17 libcurl's Memory Tracking feature also performed automatic malloc and free filling operations using 0xA5 and 0x13 values. Our own preinitialization of dynamically allocated memory might be useful when not using third party memory debuggers, but on the other hand this would fool memory debuggers into thinking that all dynamically allocated memory is properly initialized. As a default setting, libcurl's Memory Tracking feature no longer performs preinitialization of dynamically allocated memory on its own. If you know what you are doing, and really want to retain old behavior, you can achieve this compiling with preprocessor symbols CURL_MT_MALLOC_FILL and CURL_MT_FREE_FILL defined with appropriate values.
