But the uninitialized value can't be used if PetscMallocX failed because the
error is checked and the error handler is invoked.  Was the problem only in
some case where the error code was not being checked, or was it more than
that?  Spurious uninitialized warnings are obnoxious, are they worth
pandering to?  I can't reproduce them with any of my compilers.
