been memset to zero?  *Duh* it's already zero.

you're right, this looks really useless. I'm making a note down and it
will get removed in next release .. 

Comment 2 Radek Vokál 2005-05-24 09:51:04 UTC
removed

Comment 3 Mike Frysinger 2005-10-30 04:09:39 UTC
it's still in cvs, just not applied via spec file ...
