Well, they say in their FAQ that they knowingly introduced this (by
changing from calloc to malloc) for performance reasons.  So I doubt
they would change back. :( It would be interesting to know how big a
performance impact this has.  1%? 1000%?

Also, I feel compelled to point out :) that if zlib was not triplicated
in CMake, VTK, and ITK that your fix from 2 months ago would have solved
this once and for all. :)  When and if you guys switch away from CVS, it
would be good to investigate some kind of 'Shared' repository that all
these projects use.  IMNSHO. :)
