Use 0xcc (not 0xcd) for clearing malloc() blocks too.

+#### This function works by assuming that the thread we're switching
+#### into is also running switch_threads().  Thus, all it has to do is
+#### preserve a few registers on the stack, then switch stacks and
+#### restore the registers.  As part of switching stacks we record the
+#### current stack pointer in CUR's thread structure.
