bzero exists under SGI IRIX and (at least) SuSE Linux.
However, the 'man' page for bzero under Linux says:
CONFORMING TO:
4.3BSD. This function is deprecated -- use memset in new programs.
...so I guess we should stick with memset and assume that
it applies whatever optimisation there is for the zero case
internally.
