Invalid memory access

[RoelofBerg]

According to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=798601 the GCC stack protector was complaining in one of the unit tests on MIPS.

This could be a critical security issue (BOF).

ToDo: After analysis (and possibly fix) inform the Debian package maintainer to revert the compiler switch modifications.

FYI I posted a fix for this in the above Debian bug report. It was simply caused by an uninitialized variable in the testsuite.

FWIW, I confirm that with this patch imereg built successfully in mips.

Great, thanks. At the moment it's difficult for me to find enough time for maintaining. (For good and several reasons). I'll try harder to give it more priority and upstream it. Thanks a lot.
