Are you sure about this?  I don't think vnormalize() should return zero
for a zero length vector, but the 3.1 source i have here says:

          case VNORMALIZE_TOKEN:
            Parse_Vector_Param(Vect);
            VLength(Val,Vect);
            if (Val==0.0)
            {
              Make_Vector(Vect,0.0,0.0,0.0);
            }
            else
            {
              VInverseScaleEq(Vect,Val);
            }
            break;
