I don't really understand this since I don't know at what point it hasn't
been treated as a pattern when it should have been.

It's now moved to line 6238. I've fixed the symptoms by turning the
ncalloc() into a zhalloc(), which I shouldn't have to do, but can't hurt
since the memory is never freed so it should be using zhalloc() anyway.
This suggests something fairly sinister is going on. ncalloc() appears to
be pointing to the right thing, but the wrong argument appears when it's
called.
