Comment (by nickm):

 >  It's been 2 years since this ticket was opened, are there's any new
 flags we should also clear?

 > Do you think we should zero the struct, then copy across the fields we
 want to keep?
 > Or do you think that touching the entire struct is a bad idea?

 I think it's probably fine to do the zero-and-copy approach.
