I just looked at this, and I've apparently made a small boo-boo. Martin,
you originally made a similar change on trunk some time ago.

  http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=330842

Just recently, you undid that change to resolve a warning on HP.

  http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=627612

So I've just undone your fix for HP in a way that isn't consistent with
what is on the branches/4.2.x. Ugh.

So now the question is, what should we be doing here. We have
conflicting warnings. I'm actually a little surprised that the HP
compiler doesn't warn if the values are left uninitialized. Instead of a
potential null pointer dereference, you would have a potential garbage
pointer dereference, which in some cases may be worse.

Should I just undo my 'fix' on trunk, or should I take a half hour to
try and find a way to placate both compilers?

Travis
