That statement was added yesterday (not by me) and needed moving up a
line. Which version do you have? The current one has
Rboolean success = FALSE;
s = NULL; /* initialize to suppress warning */
and passes all my tests. The previous one had those two lines reversed
and worked on gcc (with a warning) but failed on Solaris' cc (and was not
legal ISO C90).
