Nice description, Ryan :)

A lot of the sunrpc code *does* land in libc (all the client code). Notably, 
bindresvport(), clnt_create(), clnt_broadcast(), universal() (called from 
registerrpc() via a callback from svc_register()), svctcp_create(), 
svcudp_bufcreate(), and key_gendes(), _des_crypt() (obviously used for 
DES-encrypted SunRPC), all explicitly call __bzero() and land in libc.

Almost certainly these would use memset() were the SunRPC code not ancient 
Sun-derived gunge with a 1986 copyright date...
