Why? It does not store any useful information per se, it is
merely used to add a third type of ct, iow:

(a) ct==NULL
(b) ct!=NULL
(c) ct==&untracked

mmap(2)'s return value for example has something similar:

(a) mmap(...)==NULL
(b) mmap(...)==MMAP_FAILED
(c) otherwise

The untracked ct is a singleton, and should stay one, unless
there are further reasons not to do so.
