While I'd pronounce zealloc as Zee-alloc; I'd not be inclined
to pronounce zalloc that way, nor as Zed-alloc, but as Zal-loc
(rhymes with Sal-loc). Maybe Larry had this pronounciation
in mind?
Similarly, I pronounce 'calloc' as Kal-loc not, See-alloc.
So other folk from England should have no trouble :-)
