to wit:

| #include <iostream>
| using std::cout;
| using std::endl;
| 
| int main( int argc, char * argv [] )
| {
|     for (int i = 0; i < 100 ; ++i)
|     {
|         int * pi = new int;
|         ++(*pi);
|         cout << *pi << endl;
|         delete pi;
|     }
|     return 0;
| }

gives this output:

| $ ./test-new
| 1
| 1075981201
| [...]
| 1075981201
| 1075981201
| 1075981201
| $ 

which surprises me a little -- i had hoped for something more
consistent -- but shows that you do not get the zero initialization
that you asked for.
