Please note that I didn't touch other variables, e.g., tsc_is_broken, because I knew that. However, I just wanted to do that *explicitly*. Anyway, it is reverted now and SVN will remember what I wanted to do. ;-) BTW, if my memory serves, GCC (and all modern C compilers) put(s) zero-initialized variables back in .bss.
