Subject: [S390] Initialize interval value to 0.
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 11:01:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061026090141.GA16270@skybase> (raw)

From: Gerald Schaefer <geraldsc@de.ibm.com>

[S390] Initialize interval value to 0.

sscanf() could leave the interval value unchanged in which case it
would be used uninitialized.
