On platforms where integers aren't the same size as pointers, things can
go wrong if 1) you pass 0 to a function that expects a pointer and no
function prototype was available during compilation, or 2) you pass it
to a function that takes a variable parameter list.  So it is a good
habit to use NULL for pointers.
