valgrind reports uninitialized values in dl-reloc.c

[Yuri D'Elia <wavexx@users.sf.net>]

Hi everyone. I'm posting this directly to the list, since I'm unsure whether this is a glibc optimization that should be filtered, a valgrind bug or a real glibc bug.

I'm running valgrind 3.5.0 from sid against libc6-2.10.1-3 on amd64 on several executables, and I'm getting these reports:
