Hello,
just because I found a nice jargon entry, which supports
my view, I relate to that old topic again.

To "Heisenbug" you find:
"In C, nine out of ten heisenbugs result from uninitialized auto variables,
fandango on core phenomena (esp. lossage related to corruption of the malloc
arena) or errors that smash the stack."
http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/h/heisenbug.html
So, unininitialized auto variables is explicitly mentioned.
Ciao,
Oliver
