Subject: modreg buggy: uninitialized variable in sinerp.f (PR#302)
Message-ID: <199910301133.NAA16105@pubhealth.ku.dk>

I had some strange problems with modreg: sometimes functions
hang in an infinite loop, consuming 100% CPU time. Especially
when update()ing models (as in example(ppr)) with sm.method="gcv"
I found that if I repeated the call after I did interrupt the hang,
it ran to completion.

After some lengthy debugging I could track down this problem:

sinerp.f, line 22--24 read:

      wjm3(1)=0d0
      wjm3(2)=0d0
      wjm3(1)=0d0

This leaves wjm3(3) uninitialized. So after changing these lines to

      wjm3(1)=0d0
      wjm3(2)=0d0
      wjm3(3)=0d0

the bug was gone.
