In the pmax case, space is really tight, so one is tempted to make
compromises more easily...
After all, this is not a hosted environment with a standard library
or so.
libsa is special wrt use of b*/mem* functions anyway, eg:
$ grep bzero *.c|wc
23 94 1021
$ grep memset *.c|wc
5 27 225
It's only ustarfs which uses memset here.
Whoever touches this might get letter bombs from portmasters...
best regards
