29 * In developer builds, clobber a region of memory.
30 *
31 * If we think a string buffer is longer than it really is, this ought
32 * to make the failure obvious, by segfaulting (if in the heap) or by
33 * killing the return address (on the stack), or by trapping under a
34 * memory debugger.
35 *
36 * This is meant to catch possible string overflows, even if the
37 * actual string copied is not big enough to cause an overflow.
38 *
39 * In addition, under Valgrind the buffer is marked as uninitialized.
