-Subject: [PATCH] files: initialize a variable before referencing it
-
-The lack of initialization caused a nasty bug on some targets (such as
-ARMv7) which would make it so that ^S would just say "Cancelled".
-
-While x86 (both 64 and 32 bits) seems to initialize 'response' to zero or
-a positive number, ARM does not, and there is usually a negative value in
-its place, which triggers the 'if (response < 0)' check and, as a result,
-the code says "Cancelled".
-
-This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56023.
-Reported-by: Devin Hussey <address@hidden>
-
-Bug existed since version 4.0, commit 0f9d60a3.
