Description

my_malloc will zero out buf when it knows it is a valid pointer. So the memset before that check is superflous and dangerous.

(In [18312]) In my_malloc() in mythtranscode remove an unnecessary and dangerous call to memset() before the pointer from malloc() has been checked. Fixes #5695.
