If defined DEBUGNAMES the free function is global (!) overloaded by a macro.
The macro "free" call free first and write then into pointer.
In a threading environment is this fatal.

    I see no positive value in the code enabled by DEBUGNAMES (Zip,
    zip.h, util.c). Until someone removes it, I would avoid it. Perhaps
    someday, someone will add some useful code for malloc()+free()
    debugging.
