You are absolutely right, also for the POSIX case - from the source http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/bzero.html Revised patch attached. Thanks!

I'm with Paolo on this point.
Unlike memset which is now a macro optimized to use __builtin functions when possible (on Darwin), bzero remain a simple function and is not available everywhere.

Ok, it was available on OS X as well and seems to be part of POSIX according to the OS X man page?

bzero() is used in queue.c and is available from strings.h, needs an include for it.
Probably better to use memset instead. bzero is on its way to obsoletion.
Also, strings.h is SVR-ism and is not available on many platforms.
