uh...

the kernel sources that i kicked out a couple of days ago _didn't_
require that kernel bcopy() return 0 -- i ran into the same problem,
when making the libc bcopy work with the kernel.  (the fact that
originally such a return value was requires was a, umm, quirk... 8-)


re: a fast bzero: cool!  thanks.
