Sure go ahead.

As I remember these things I added them long before I started using valgrind
so they served some kind of purpose to better help us track serious mistakes
in the code where we'd re-use free()d data etc.

I can't even recall when I've actually have had use for that the last time as
these days I immediately use valgrind if I want to track down problems like
that - I don't see any need or benefit with keeping that code.
