Re: -fzero-initialized-in-bss

I get "(nil) (nil)", but that's OK.  No, I have not been able to 
produce a small case.  This was reported to me, the company's compiler 
guy, by an engineer working on the Linux kernel.  I'm trying to get 
more information, but I now suspect that the offending code is in a 
driver module loaded on demand.  I'll try to confirm asap.

When this change was committed, it included a Makefile mod to turn this 
option OFF when compiling the CRT stuff.  Why was that?
