This strange construct has been removed in other places meanwhile. It is 
violating C-standards (C89, C99) and as such causes warnings with other 
compilers, so this is fighting fire with fire. As it is a pointer it may be 
more sensible to initialize with NULL, should appease all compilers and 
still be correct.
