/* debugging support, define this to enable code which helps detect re-use

 *
 * The theory is simple.  The FILL_BYTE (0xa5) is written over all malloc'd
 * memory as we receive it, and is written over everything that we free up
 * during a clear_pool.  We check that blocks on the free list always
 * have the FILL_BYTE in them, and we check during palloc() that the bytes
 * still have FILL_BYTE in them.  If you ever see garbage URLs or whatnot
 * containing lots of 0xa5s then you know something used data that's been

 * used with something like Electric Fence or Purify to help detect

 * add in ALLOC_DEBUG.  But don't add in ALLOC_DEBUG if you're using Purify
 * because ALLOC_DEBUG would hide all the uninitialized read errors that

 */

/* tMemPool debugging support.  This is intended to detect cases where the

 * that their arguments are safe for the table they're being placed in.
 * It currently only works with the unix multiprocess model, but could
 * be extended to others.
 */
