A common mistake is to assume that initializing a var with:
        struct foo f = { 0 };

Would initialize a zeroed struct. Actually, what this does is
to initialize the first element of the struct to zero.

According to C99 Standard 6.7.8.21:

    "If there are fewer initializers in a brace-enclosed
     list than there are elements or members of an aggregate,
     or fewer characters in a string literal used to initialize
     an array of known size than there are elements in the array,
     the remainder of the aggregate shall be initialized implicitly
     the same as objects that have static storage duration."

Static storage is initialized to zero so this is fine.  It's just
that Sparse complains if you mix NULL and zero.

I'll drop it, thank you.
