indeed - write a suppression. this patch isnt useful - as mike said - the code
explicitly fills that char array immediately after your patch before every
reading/using it. this is a core routine where uselessly re-setting variable
values can have performance impacts you could measure (this is called every
time evas needs to draw a character). valgrind is smoking some crack
methinks :) it has never bitched about that to me though - so maybe its just
your valgrind there - but use a suppression for it and it will go away. :)
