	Hmm, this stuff is already in one of the patches I sent.

	I'd do:

    if (!(argv = (char **)calloc(n + 1, sizeof(char *))))

	Unless, of course, you're just being ironic about how stupid it is that
we have calloc() rather than malloc0() ... in which case I thoroughly
approve :-)

	Same thing elsewhere in the patch e.g.

> -    if (!(*argv = malloc(len * sizeof(char *))))
> +    if (!(*argv = calloc(1, len * sizeof(char *))))

	should be:

    if (!(*argv = calloc(len, sizeof(char *))))

Cheers,
Mark.
