However, the array of char pointers allocated on the stack by function ipmi_hardcode_init() was not inited to zeroes, so it contained stack debris. Consequently, passing the cruft stored in this array to function ipmi_hardcode_init_one() caused a crash when it was unable to detect that the char * being passed was nonsense and tried to access the address specified by the bogus pointer. The fix is simply to initialize the si_type array to zeroes, so if there were no type argument given to at the command line, function ipmi_hardcode_init_one() could properly default to the kcs interface.
