Emphasis on the "may", as according to strtok_r your code is ok, its
just the compiler that needs to be told that no, it is not being
accessed uninitialized:

<quote man strtok>
       On the first call to strtok_r(), str should point to the string
to be parsed, and the value of saveptr is ignored.  In subsequent calls,
str should be NULL, and saveptr should be unchanged since the previous
call.

So just setting it to NULL is enough.
