I agree. It's interesting that two seemingly independent sources make the same unfounded claim about this obscure C function so close in time. Since I replied in the first case, I was sensitive to the second case. Perhaps someone should make a third attempt so that we can conclude that it's a conspiracy to rewrite the history of calloc.

If I had to hazard a guess, it felt like the first one was potentially written by the reporter of the initial bug, the second by the actual developer who investigated it. This is just a guess, but I bet if you reread both you'll likely agree with me.
