Shouldn't a decent OS scrub RAM and disk sectors before allocating them to processes, unless that process enters 
processor privileged mode and sets a call flag? I recall digging through disk sectors on RSTS/E to look for passwords 
and other interesting stuff over 30 years ago.


All modern OSes do that. What's your point?
