Help with free()

I seem to be causing bugs in my MUD without knowing it, and I can always
trace it back to some pointer not being reset to NULL after I free it.  It
seems that sometimes, when you do a free(), it resets the pointer that was
passed in to NULL, and sometimes it doesn't.  Is there any rule to this?,
or should I just continue putting a X = 0 after every free that I use?
  Thanx fer any help.
