Decrease the junk level by one if it is larger than 0.
Junking writes some junk bytes into the area allocated.

+Junk is bytes of 0xdb when allocating;
freed chunks are filled with 0xdf.
By default the junk level is 1: small chunks are always junked
and the first part of pages is junked after free.

+After a delay,
the filling pattern is validated and the process is aborted if the pattern
was modified.
If the junk level is zero, no junking is performed.
Note that this will cause code that is supposed to handle
out-of-memory conditions gracefully to abort instead.
