We would want to be able to distinguish between a workaround for a
compiler that is not clever/careful enough, and a necessary
initialization.  In this particular case, it is the former, and we should
say

	int failed_errno = failed_errno;

instead.

Frankly, I prefer the initialization with 0; this is not a performance critical place and micro-optimization is not appropriate here.

(If this were C++ then I *know* that int x = x; is undefined behavior, strictly speaking; I don't know whether it is the same with C.)

Nevertheless, for both versions:
