I have seen subtle bugs because of people getting the arguments to
memset() the wrong way around, which will not give a warning.  bzero()
nicely avoids this problem and I think it's far better for that
reason, and anyhow, it's easy to implement on systems that are missing
it.  

I guess something like ZERO_STRUCT is adequate though.
