This is what it said:
68: ptr = buf;
* 69: if((count = read(sid, buf, sizeof(msghdr))
70: && count != -1
Using auto variable reconnect`count which has not been set.
(break 1) 28 -> count;
(int) -1077952577 /* garbage value */
(break 1) 29 -> step
Stopped in reconnect() at "client.c":73
* 73: ptr = buf + count;
(break 1) 30 -> count;
(int) 1
Since the operands of "&&" are guaranteed to be evaluated in order, this
is legal (count is not referenced until it is set).
