[ros-kernel] Re: page faults in msvcrt.dll

[Phillip S. <ps...@cf...>]

It most certainly does effect correctness;  it is a security hole.  MS 
zeros all pages before they are allocated to keep programs from gaining 
access to data they shouldn't and comply with C2 security 
specifications.  The optimization is to keep pages on the zeroed list that 
are already zeroed so you don't have to zero them when they are needed, you 
zero them when otherwise idle.
