Just a thought, but I remember back in my old programming days (pre C++)
that all of the "good" programmers said NEVER count on a variable having
a value before you initialized it.  I know that Borland zero's out the
global data, so maybe we've gotten a little lazy expecting a variable to
be 0'd without doing it ourselves.

My thoughts are my own.
