	K&R p. 198 says statics and externals are guaranteed to be
	"uninitialized" to zero; automatic and register are guaranteed
	to be "uninitialized" to garbage.

	Since this is supposed to be the "standard"...

I do wish people would at least READ the book before quoting from it. K&R
p. 198 says

"Static and external variables which are not initialized are guaranteed to
start off as 0; automatic and register variables which are not initialized
are guaranteed to start off as garbage."

	Yes, that is supposed to be the "standard"...
