Cheers.

I honestly still am completely confused at how strlen() could in any
way be related to this (and yet, it most certainly is as far as gcc
is concered) and _why_ calloc() is even a viable candidate for malloc()
sibling-call optimization in the first place.

I am also sort of thinking this is a gcc bug, but I have no idea
where to even start looking in that abyss known to some as the
gcc codebase. I'll keep my ear to the ground regardless; I find it
*very* hard to believe that zsh is the only codebase affected
by this optimization peculiarity.
