   I think it is more something like 'specific pattern values' which are different depending on the number of 't'
(extracted from current trunk):
./globals.pas:126:       trashintvalues: array[0..nroftrashvalues-1] of int64 = ($5555555555555555,$AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,$EFEFEFEFEFEFEFEF,0);

Thus  -gt      will use $5555555555555555 pattern,
       -gtt     will use $AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA pattern,
       -gttt    will use $EFEFEFEFEFEFEFEF pattern,
       -gtttt   will use $0000000000000000 pattern
for 'trashing' of local variables.
