        I'd recommend including the code.

        Chances are, windows (perhaps in debug mode, where all new
malloced memory is automagically bzero'ed) is doing a bit of extra work,
or not crashing when you do something funky to memory.

        Linux, on the other hand, jumps on your head and smashes your face
in.  Only code will tell.

        So, post it.
