Maybe I should investigate that C++ garantees that int arrays are zeroed on creation.
Variables defined on the stack are most emphatically not initialized. Variables in global space … IIRC, C doesn't insist they be zeroed - it's not a formal part of the language, but the arduino linker and whatnot will zero them.

It absolutely does guarantee statics and externs will be initialised to zero (unless otherwise initialised), at least since edition two of K&R (Peace be unto them)

Ah. There's the problem: I learned C off edition 1, back in '85.

In that case I suggest you dust off your copy, and turn to page 82, section 4.9.
