The original request was for a stable patch, and that would be accepted
if I provided a proper tidy fix also. To be fair it was a few weeks ago
now that that mail was sent. :-) Anyway, as it turns out the tidy fix was
almost identical, and we don't need the memset as far as I can tell
from reviewing code and from testing. Will run up your patch today to
verify your additional change, but should be fine.
