Exactly!  That was my "something like SAFE_FREE" reference.  But YELLING is
not an appealing coding style, nor do I like the magic NULL-setting which I've
found that people rely on.  I'd rather see an explicit NULL set if it's
required.

So if we're going to promote this in talloc, I'd like to do it differently...

Thanks,
Rusty.
