| Hugh,
|     - ensure alg_info_ike and alg_info_esp fields are initialized to NULL
|       (initializing a pointer's raw memory to 0x00 is not guaranteed to initialize
|       the pointer to NULL)

| You keep asserting this and I keep pointing out, from our POV, it
| isn't true.  Not even on an m68k with no VM..  Why?

My POV is to follow the C standard where possible.  The C standard does 
not provide the guarantee.  Intentionally.

In this case, I moved two initializing assignments higher in the function.
