Difference betwen Z and J isn't the fill value only. Z apply
for allocations of new memory (when imalloc() called); J apply
on changes in allocated block size (e.g. realloc) and free. So
'Z' doesn't "zero on free" but "zero on alloc". Well, things
aren't simple as Z implies J ...
BTW, Z nor J doesn't imply 'R' despite of text of manual page.
Are you sure? Then we should fix the manpage.
Cc'ing Jason Evans, who may be interested too.
The man page looks accurate to me. What aspect of the descriptions of
'J' and 'Z' do you think is incorrect?
Thanks,
Jason
