Follow-up Comment #3, bug #46988 (project gforth):
Valgrind reports some usage of uninitialized memory with gforth-ditc, the
other engines don't have such reports.

This report goes away with the calloc() fix. Setting the arrays to junk
doesn't cause a crash even with gforth-ditc; so I read it as "might crash"
rather than "does crash".
