I rigged up a script as Src/zsh so that I could invoke valgrind from
the test harness.  Got multiple invalid reads for this block:

==746398==  Block was alloc'd at
==746398==    at 0x483B7F3: malloc (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/valgrind/vgprel

module.c:2902 would be:

   2898         /*
   2899          * Module has autoloadable features.  Restore them
   2900          * so that the module will be reloaded when needed.
   2901          */
   2902         autofeatures("zsh", m->node.nam,
   2903                      hlinklist2array(m->autoloads, 0), 0, FEAT_IGNORE);

==746398==  Address 0x643b030 is 16 bytes inside a block of size 80 free'd

==746398==    by 0x1936C6: do_module_features (module.c:2109)

So, what's going on here?  I tried checking the "incleanup" static
inside Src/Modules/parameter.c enables_(), but it's not set [before
entering enables_()] during that call stack.
