Bug#1001357: memcached: FTBFS with -O3: uninitialized variable

Hi Chris,

On ppc64el in Ubuntu, memcached is failing to build from source because this
Ubuntu port builds with -O3 by default, and at that optimization level, gcc
detects that a couple of variables may be used without being set. I haven't
traced the code to confirm whether this is a false-positive, because it's
easy enough to fix the failure by initializing the variables instead of
overriding the compiler warning (which can be useful for finding real bugs).

Please find attached the patch I've uploaded to Ubuntu for this issue.

Thanks for considering,
