I talked to Craig last night, and he is in fact right - free(NULL) does 
nothing, and is apparently specced to do so. Little-known fact (and 
extremely unusual - can *you* name another C function which does its 
own sanity checking?). Regardless, it's still bad style, if only 
because it confuses programmers who don't know this (like, say, me 
before last night :^) ), which is why Craig has changed it back.
