? free()

If you have a atom variable that points to
some allocate memory and then you
you use the free() function to free it.

The variable will still contain the address
location even though the memory was deallocated.

I always thought that variable would be set to ZERO.
That is probably why user's are have mysterious crashs.

Would'nt it be more logical for the interpreter to set
it to ZERO when free()is called ??
