New description:

 It would be nice to have a --enable-memory-poisoning configure switch to
 make av_malloc()/av_realloc() fill the memory with arbitrary or random
 data. This could be enabled by default in tests/fate.sh:configure to do
 better memory testing on all FATE instances without needing an advanced an
 slow tool like valgrind.
