Actually that is a form feed character, which the GNU coding standard
recommends to be used to break up source code at logical places:

  Please use formfeed characters (control-L) to divide the program into
  pages at logical places (but not within a function). It does not
  matter just how long the pages are, since they do not have to fit on a
  printed page. The formfeeds should appear alone on lines by
  themselves.

But the C standard says it's OK to call free() with a NULL pointer.
