memset bugs.

A grep I crafted to pick up on some common bugs happened upon
a copy of the FreeBSD CVS tree that I happened to have handy
and found the bugs below where the 2nd & 3rd arguments to
memset calls have been swapped.

I'm unfamiliar with how patch submission works in FreeBSD,
but hopefully someone can eyeball this for correctness
and get it committed, or forward it on to the right people.

Thanks,

	Dave
