Re: CVS update: subversion/subversion/libsvn_string svn_string.c

This one probably doesn't make sense. Right after the alloc, we copy over
the oldsize data. I'm not sure that we need the unused portion to be zeroed.
IMO, the add'l space in an svn_string really "shouldn't" need to be zeroed,
but figured it best to ask for other opinions here.

Cheers,
