Uh, it's a static global.  ISO C specifies that it must already be
zeroed.

eg http://www.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n843.pdf section
6.7.8.10:

"If an object that has static storage duration is not initialized
explicitly, then: 
- if it has pointer type, it is initialized to a null pointer; 
- if it has arithmetic type, it is initialized to (positive or
unsigned) zero; 
- if it is an aggregate, every member is initialized (recursively)
according to these rules;"

OpenSSH is not and has never claimed to be thread safe.
