Under 4.2BSD, use ``bzero'' to clear out a block of memory:
bzero(addr, count)
caddr_t addr;
int count;
(where ``addr'' is the address of the first byte to be cleared, and
``count'' is the number of bytes). Beware >64K counts in kernel code;
I think the 4.2 bzero handles this but the 4.2 bcopy does not.
