[Gpsbabel-code] Re: Garmin upload tracks patch

I don't have a Garmin, but this looks pretty reasonable to me.

Thanx, libjeeps...

I've had to clean up variations of this in libjeeps for WAY too long.
Can you verify that editing jeeps/gpsmem.c so that if

    if(!(ret=(GPS_PTrack)malloc(sizeof(GPS_OTrack))))

becomes something like

    if(!(ret=(GPS_PTrack)calloc(1, sizeof(GPS_OTrack))))

(and dropping the explicit initializers here) life is good?


If you can test with that tweak and resubmit it, I'll apply it.

Honestly, if you don't don't make the tweak, I'll probably still go
for it.  I'll just feel better about it with the tweak, but there are
so many variations of this problem in libjeeps that I won't lose sleep
about it. :-)
