Subject: (tail_file): Initialize ignore, dev, and ino members,
X-Git-Tag: CPPI-1_8~21
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b7895d0d1097ae28ec4a4ff4231cb530ab201462;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

(tail_file): Initialize ignore, dev, and ino members,
when tailing forever and the open failed.  Otherwise, we could get
uninitialized memory references of those fields in recheck.
