Found this REALLY informative tidbit over at Raymons Chen's The Old New Thing.
As assembly programmers,... we are always using some kind of memory allocation function to access memory addresses,...in particular,...Heap­Alloc, Global­Alloc, Local­Alloc, and Co­Task­Mem­Alloc get alot of use in assembly code. This Raymond Chen blog entry explains why, when you invoke HeapReAlloc on the same memory block with the HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY flag, the function sometimes does not work as you would expect.
