I am (using pg_malloc, that is). So, just to be sure: pg_malloc memsets the 
block to 0, right? 

My question was more along the lines if memsetting to 0 to ensure that pointer 
fields are NULL and int/long fields are 0. I know they are on Linux, but don't 
know if that applies to other platforms as well, or if I need to set fields 
explicitly to those 'zero'/'uninitialized' values.
