An older version did use memset(). It was changed to use a loop in
1997, with a commit message that included:
"Don't use memset to prevent prototype trouble, use simple loop."
It may have been to avoid problems with pre-ANSI C compilers that didn't
support prototypes. That's still speculation on my part.
