    // 0x55 is used so that undefined writes of 0xaa are still caught. Another option would be a
    // stream of random bytes seeded by the address, however that makes debugging reads after frees
    // more difficult and has a performance penalty and so is not worth catching slightly more
    // writes after frees.
