Tree view 
When reading another codepath, I happened to notice a few codepaths where we do
pg_malloc() immediately followed by a memset( ..  0, ..), without there being a
justification (that I can see) for not using pg_malloc0() instead. The attached
patch changes to pg_malloc0(), and passes make check.
