Gordon,

Thanks for a quick turnaround of the patch. We will try it and see.

Thanks again

Nitin

Good analysis; thanks!

It actually works fine for me for repeated restarts, though if I run under 
valgrind the uninitialised value is reported and of course by inspection of the 
code you have correctly identified a problem.

I guess we have just been unlucky in not hitting the problem...

The attached patch should take care of the crash. I believe the status is 
correctly set later on, just not in time for the logging statement.
