I had to commmit a bit of evil to avoid a similar warning in some other 
code on the sparc...If you initialize the variable with "0" or whatever 
before it's used, the warning will go away...

For the record, I think that this sort of warning from gcc is completely 
bogus.  If we want meaningful warnings, we should turn on those which 
produce meaningful warnings ... -Wall often produces noise.

...y'know, it strikes me as interesting that this warning doesn't show up 
in a SPARC kernel build... "weird" :-)
