iostat values zero'ed?

:Apologizes for the lame question but after a good search of the
:archives, testing on the other unix boxen I have around, and finding
:nothing interesting in the man page, I'm at a loss as to why the
:initial values iostat output are zero'ed.
I'm guessing the iostat program is simply not doing the delta properly
for the first line. In fact, since it isn't delaying at all before
outputting the first line I'm guessing it has no delta info at all.
If someone wants to fix that I think it is simply a matter of coding.
