Description:   Opened: 2005-03-31 08:52 0000 
In cut_fields_mb in cut.c, wint_t wc is not initialized before being
compared to WEOF.  It just so happens that when I compile it on my
system, through some miracle of perversity and stack layout, wc picks up
-1 as its initial value.

On cut.c line 836, change wint_t wc; to wint_t wc = 0;  That fixes it
for me.

On the coreutils bug list I was told that this problem has already been fixed in Fedora Core 3 a while ago.  Maybe Gentoo's coreutils needs to get new versions of the i18n patch?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Emerge coreutils with at least -O2 and gcc 3.4 or 4.0
Actual Results:  
echo foo:bar | cut -d: -f1 produces no output!

Expected Results:  
foo
