Yeah it seems to randomly throw this warning under certain
circumstances, sometimes gcc doesn't seem to be able to prove that in
fact it *isn't* used uninitialized.

I think we should just leave the warning though, anything else I could
come up with to suppress it would just cause real ones to be suppressed
as well if somebody changes this code.
