Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:10 nickm]:
 > teor: I've tweaked the patch a little so that we assert on ptr == NULL
 when sz != 0.

 This is going to cause crashes everywhere, we memwipe(NULL,
 sizeof(object)) in a lot of places in the tor codebase.

 It's triggered by the ed25519 unit tests in master, and by something to do
 with pluggable transports in 0.2.7.6.

 Please don't backport this change!
