xsaber3-beta2 on pmax can't seem to find the right name for local
variables in some error messages.  This file:

struct quux {
    int frob1;
    int frob2;
};

bar()
{
    struct quux foo;

    printf("%d\n", foo.frob1);
}


generates an error on the printf() line (as it should).
Saber reports the error as:
[I can't cut&paste, since the error buffer won't let me copy its text]
foo.c: 10, W#113, Using auto variable bar`"8z5".frob1 which has not
                 been set.

The stuff between ` and .frob1 is usually random garbage of some sort.
