calloc returns address of zero, I did initialize

generally agree about use of malloc and calloc. But we must use half our data area for one thing at the start and another for later. I suggested an union, but we have not finialized on that.

In the meantime I have found my problem: it was supposed to return NULL, that was part of the test. But the NULL was not comparing well vs the standard NULL. So I put in an xdata attribute and all works now.

Thank you for your help,
Sean

See this thread for a similar problem with pointer comparions and NULL:

Why even do that. If the variables are local to two different routines, they will only take one space.
