Which is fine. It's not a bug if it's zero. There's just no point going out of your way to set it to zero when you're only going to xor a bunch of random values into it anyway.

No it wasn't. The patch removed the read of the randomness buffer that folded it into another buffer (the MD_Update calls) because Valgrind was warning that the buffer it was reading from had never been initialised.
