Comment (by Gavin Lambert <gavinl@…>):

 Note that the attached patch changes it unconditionally.  If you really
 want to leave it uninitialised for performance you could slap some #if
 checks around it for MSVC and _DEBUG.  But this might leave it vulnerable
 if some other compilers do something similar.
