$1 = 0xa5a5a5a5

from malloc(3):

     J       Each byte of new memory allocated by malloc(), realloc() or
             reallocf() will be initialized to 0xa5.  All memory returned by
             free(), realloc() or reallocf() will be initialized to 0x5a.
             This is intended for debugging and will impact performance nega-
             tively.
