Of course I am aware that we are trying to stabilise for release 1.0. The problem is knowing where to draw the line between "stabilisation" and "destabilisation". This change was not a critical bug fix but nor was it, in my opinion, significantly destabilising.

I hear your point that we should only be doing critical fixes, but this is not the message I have got from the mailing list so far. I was led to believe that we are going to branch for stabilisation, and that non-critical work can continue on the trunk. I would welcome further clarification.

I apologise for checking in poor code, especially at this stage. However, I did post it for pre-commit review, and specifically said that I wasn't sure about the "memset" part (which, as far as I am aware, is the only bad part). I received only positive feedback. Now, perhaps I didn't leave enough time for other reviewers, and anyway I don't blame review, or lack of it, for my mistakes. I was too hasty, and I'm sorry for it.
