I think the problem was introduced in revision 29914:

------------------------​-------------------------------​-----------------
r29914 | reimar | 2009-11-16 11:44:00 +0100 (lun, 16 nov 2009) | 2 lines

Use calloc instead of initializing each struct member individually to 0.

-idx worked ok before that revision.
