That's what I get if compiling for x86_64.  If compiling for i386, I get

1258024948
1258024950

It just happens that 0 is on the stack where the variable is allocated,
perhaps as a leftover from another call that used that area on the
stack.

No C standard says that automatic variables are initialized.  And
indeed, they are not!

gcc will warn about it with -Wall

Please let's stop this discussion now, as it doesn't belong to the
linux-wireless mailing list.
