+Subject: malloc-simple: Make calloc() return zeroed memory
+
+The 0.9.31 release included a change to malloc-simple to request
+uninitialized memory from noMMU kernels. Unfortunately, the corresponding
+calloc() code assumed that memory returned by malloc() was already zeroed,
+which leads to all kinds of nastiness.
