Re: [evolution-patches] Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj novell com>]

What's the bug?

Zeroing the internal buffer doesn't seem like a real fix to me... it
might silence the valgrind warnings, but nothing seems to check against
'\0', code only either checks inptr < inend or against inptr !=
'\n' (inend always gets set to '\n' so there should be no way to compare
values past the end of the input afaict)

as far as the other valgrind warnings... well, I can't help but wonder
if this is actually a gcc optimization bug?

I don't like the idea of initializing the entire buffer to 0 if it
doesn't address a real bug because it may end up hiding real bugs.
