[rrd-developers] Re: Uninitialized pointer prevents dump/tune of RRD with CDEF

The pointer that isn't getting initialized is passed to addop2str() in
**result_str, which is called from rpn_compact2str().  In rrd_info.c,
this arg is declared with "char *buffer = 0;", but rrd_dump.c and
rrd_tune.c don't initialize this pointer.

addop2str() takes the passed pointer and sends it to realloc(), which
when given an non-zero pointer that didn't come from malloc(), calloc(),
or realloc() aborts.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
