Apologise, it's "M_ZERO" which I am guessing just means malloc() clears 
the memory as well? If it is, I'm guessing it shouldn't affect ccd more 
than be somewhat more efficient.


Full trace follows:

Phew, hopefully I didn't make too many typo's.

If you are curious what I do, codewise, in ccd_encode, the fragments 
look like:

void ccd_encode(struct ccd_softc *ccd, struct buf *bp, int encrypt);

unsigned char *ptr;
ptr = (unsigned char *) bp->b_data;

                         for (i = 0; i < bp->b_bcount; i++)
                                 ptr[i] ^= 0x20;
