 uninitialized variables

Hi Dan

I agree, this looks strange.
Have been looking for a while in history with, to see if the code has
been removed. I start my search using cppcheck for over three months
ago.
But could not find anything. Sorry about that :-(

But I'll make a patch that completely removes testing variable then instead?


Best regards
Rickard Strandqvist
