--- Comment #1 from Ivo Raisr <iv...@ivosh.net> ---
Agreed. However great care needs to be taken to distinguish between *first*
such allocated space or a *subsequent* one.
brk/sbrk were part of POSIX 1997 (and removed in POSIX 2001).
The standard said by that time [1]:
"The newly-allocated space is set to 0. However, if the application first
decrements and then increments the break value, the contents of the reallocated
space are unspecified."
Linux man pages do not say anything about initial contents.
Solaris man page brk(2) says:
"Newly allocated space is set to zero. If, however, the same memory space is
reallocated to the same process its contents are undefined."
