AFAIK this is not true for every compiler out there.
it is for gcc, and I think it is for msvc, but I'm not sure if it's
in the ansi c specs.
Especially the size=0 == free assumptions is something I'd be very careful with ;-)
btw. I tried allegro '.38 with the electricfence memory debugger and got loads of errors.
I'll try to download the latest cvs snapshot next week, and see what I can find out.
