Re: [csmith-bugs] Uninitialized member of union



It's depressing that Csmith is complex enough to have errors that take weeks to manifest, but excellent that you are persistent enough to find these :).

The attached patch, initializing what would otherwise be an
uninitialized member, makes the program display two different numbers.
The program should always display the same number if it was defined in
the first place.
This is with 64-bit little-endian compilation.
