Are you saying it's bad that it's not explicitly initialized in the code,
or that the compiler's not initializing it? It's not a problem for the
code itself not to initialize it, IMHO - the language spec says that the
variable will dependably be zero with no intervention required. But maybe
that's what you're saying...?

*That* is a problem, as I understand it. I'll see if I can figure it out
on my i386.
