I hedged my bets, not knowing whether statically allocated instances of 
a class with a constructor invoked the constructor. I'm pretty sure it 
does, but I didn't feel like trying to google it up. :-)  Maybe it 
initializes to zero everything before it invokes the constructor or 
something. (Which I would suspect, given that it's often the OS that 
does that initialization as it allocates the pages.)
