The code you posted works, but it may not be doing what you think it
should.  Specifically, Fixnum#zerofy! returns the string you want, but
it doesn't cause the recipient to _become_ that string (since the
recipient is a Fixnum, this would involve heavy Juju and is not what
you'd what, even if you think it is).  You may have mislead yourself by
sticking a bang! on the end.
