Is malloc() or calloc() "better"?

[Darin Johnson]

Actually, calloc() is not always a shell around malloc()!  On an early
Pyramid, I had spent lots of wasted time tracking down a bug, that fixed
itself when I used free() for malloc()ed objects, and cfree() for
calloc()ed objects.  In the buggy version, free() was used for
everything...
