Re: [PROPOSED 4/4] explicit_bzero: implement via memset_explicit

Thanks for the detailed review. I installed the patches with corrections 
that I hope addressed all your comments. With respect to:

I added the latter call but kept the former, as the idea was to test 
that memset_explicit (b, i, s) sets each of b[0]...b[s - 1] to i even 
when i is nonzero.
