You don't. I learn so much new by this.

It's in the article Diego referred me to. The structure contains a pointer
and you can't initialize it using calloc().

I was already feeling uncomfortable when I saw this calloc() the first time,
because I knew that a NULL pointer may not always have the value of "zero".
The article enlightened me.
