Did you see an issue (a bug or a crash) without the memset()?
Or is it to avoid filling unused fields in the parsed struct?

I'm not sure if your patch is enough: cmdline_parse() calls match_inst()
for each registered command. If a command partially matches (only the
first tokens), the buffer is modified. So the next one will start
with a dirty buffer.

I suggest to put the memset() in match_inst() instead. Something
like this:

	if (resbuf != NULL)
		memset(resbuf, 0, resbuf_size);


It will reset the buffer before using it.
