Good digging and catch.
Meanwhile, what type of memory did these systems have? Was it always guaranteed to contain 0?

should have the desired effect
They had core and later semiconductor memory. PDP-8's didn't clear memory at least until the VT78. That had startup diagnostics which I think do a memory test so memory set by that. The current behavior isn't really wrong which is why I used Would also be good. With most emulators memory is all zeros except for memory that needs to be set to operate so its just not matching my expectations. Yes now that I know about it working around it isn't a big deal.

Fix was merged. Thanks Dave and Mark!
Context
The first two entries are missing comma after the string so the first three strings get concatenated together. PDP8/pdp8_cpu.c static const char *pdp8_clock_precalibrate_commands[] = { "106 100" "-m 100 MQL MQA" "-m 101 ISZ 112", "-m 102 JMP I 106", "-m 103 JMP I 106", "PC 100", NULL};

how you built the simulator or that you're using prebuilt binaries

you may also need to provide specific pointers to data files that may be necessary to demonstrate the problem
I was trying to use SIMH to determine what memory was used by programs. I was confused by addresses 0102 and 0103 being non zero when I loaded multiple programs. Finally figured out that SIMH was putting contents in memory. Code left in memory didn't match what I found in pdp8_cpu.c so investigated until I found the cause of the missing commas.
Would also be good to reset the memory back to zero after the calibration. It surprised me to find SIMH left code in memory.
