Hi *,

when I build samba3 with --enable-developer safe_strcpy_fn() and
safe_strcat_fn() use clobber_region() to write to the buffer, but mark
it as uninitialzed for valgrind, which is a good way to find bugs.

But the problem is we use fstrcpy/fstrcat to prepare the struct based
winbind messages which are passed to write() and valgrind warns
when unitialized memory is passed to system calls.

Has anyone an good idea how to get rid of this annoying warnings?
