It's way too early to be looking at system errors. You could waste a
lot of time casting about in the wrong direction.
First isolate which variables are undefined by taking the name-value
pairs in the connect line, assembling them and printing them one-by-one,
and see which one raises this unitinitialized variable warning. That
will give you a better idea of which part of the constructor call is
missing its intial value.
