off is reinitialized by befs_read_datastream, so no need to init it with
zero in the beginning of befs_bt_read_node.

Hi Salah,

I will quote Andrew here:
"With this code:

	int foo;

	bar(&foo);

	whatever = foo;

some versions of gcc will warn that foo might be used uninitialized. 
Other versions of gcc don't do this.  That's why the seemingly-unneeded
initializations are there."

You can read the rest of his reply to when I sent the same change 2
months ago :)

Sorry, I agree with him to keep the code as it is.

Nacked.

Thanks,
Luis
