I reported these bugs yesterday. I don't think this is the correct fix.
I thought about making the str_value local to the for loop. That's sort
of like what your patch does. But I wasn't sure that was necessarily
correct either.
This code needs more testing as well. It seems no one has called this
function.
Smatch complained about uninitialized variables as well. I didn't
bother to report that yesterday but I may as well.
