Use sizeof(rxbuf)-size (not sizeof(rxbuf-size)) as the number
of bytes to clear.  The latter would always clear 4 or 8
bytes, possibly writing beyond the end of that stack buffer.
Alternatively, depending on the value of the "size" parameter,
it could fail to initialize the end of "rxbuf".
Spotted by coverity.

I re-sent this yesterday to trivial.

May end up getting queued for merge twice.
