  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.
