>Description:
Patch to convert malloc/bzero calls to malloc(..., M_ZERO) calls,
as per phk's email to freebsd-current.
Changes were made with the goal of keeping the semantics of the
code the same in mind. If there was any doubt, then the change was
not made.
The patch compiles cleanly, and appears to have had no ill effects.
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
Patch follows.
