Not a good way of doing things. I mean, have fun using Valgrind. Or switching out libc, etc. And what about key material? There you would still have to do a second step of zeroing or junking the memory when done with it anyway.

However I have no evidence of this, nor whether any or what kinds of substances might have been involved.
