I agree. That bit has been undone.

Actually, the extra is guaranteed to be filled with nulls. Allocation
of the base memory chunks is done with calloc. Still, this will cause
things to die a horrid death, so... away it goes.
I might add in a version of allocate that can overshoot for those
cases where it might be useful, but that's for later.
