commit d7ecdd645a68eeb7a5ab8c839479a05cc8a1e10e Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@torproject.org> Date: Mon Dec 29 10:06:12 2014 -0500 Wipe all of the target space in tor_addr_{to,from}_sockaddr() Otherwise we risk a subsequent memdup or memcpy copying uninitialized RAM into some other place that might eventually expose it. Let's make sure that doesn't happen.
