So remove that option, which is just a remainder of old times when
malloc used to hold on to pages. ok stefan@

others.
C11 6.5.6.9 says:
When two pointers are subtracted, both shall point to elements of the
same array object, or one past the last element of the array object; the
result is the difference of the subscripts of the two array elements.
In these cases the objects are arrays of char so the result is defined,
and we believe that the report is based on a compiler incorrectly trapping
on defined behaviour.

with different magic numbers, so we need to add some functions instead
of just asking the user to truncate as desired. Sigh.
SHA512 is quite a bit faster than SHA256 on 64 bit CPUs,
but 256 bit hashes are usually quite sufficient. Best of both.
