This one-liner is a fix to incorrect memset ordering args introduced in #2177. I had not noticed, since McStas warnings are not errors, and all CI ran green, but fortunately @mads-bertelsen spotted a compilation warning.
Why did it run green? Most likely the incorrect memset call had no effect (size parameter was inadvertently 0), so the struct was just as uninitialized as before #2177.
Suggestions for how we can perhaps try to make sure the CI catches this in the future:
MALLOC_PERTURB_=123(or evenMALLOC_PERTURB_=$(($RANDOM % 255 + 1))).@willend let me know if you wish me to turn any of the above suggestions into an issue.
