[New-bugs-announce] [issue9242] unicodeobject.c: use of uninitialized values

[Stefan Krah]

New submission from Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet at bytereef.org>:

Not sure if this is valid or if there is some internal trickery that Valgrind isn't aware of. If it's the latter, perhaps an entry to
Misc/valgrind.supp could be added.
