Quite simple: the memset()s I felt safe modifying at that point in
time were the really obvious ones, like those immediately followed by
OPENSSL_free(), or those where I could quickly determine that they
cleared local variables.

I'm going to do a second replacement where I do a more thorough check
of what is being cleared and why.
