pbzip 1.1.6 uninitialized pointer

[Paul Thomson]

In pbzip2.cpp, the fileData pointer below is not initialized:

void *consumer (void *q)
{
 queue *fifo;
 // char *FileData = NULL;
 outBuff *fileData;
...

if (!fifo->empty && (fifo->remove(fileData) == 1))
...

It is then passed to the remove function, which is defined in pbzip2.h, around line 210:

 int remove(ElementTypePtr & element)
 {
  ...
  #ifdef PBZIP_DEBUG
  ...

  if (element != NULL)
  {
   ...
    (int)element->isLastInSequence, ...
   ...
  }
  #endif

  if ( (element != NULL) && !element->isLastInSequence )
...

where it is dereferenced if it is not NULL.
I believe the pointer should be initialized to NULL.

Thanks.
