Description:
The IRIX compiler produces this warning the compiling ha_archive.cc: 
cc-1551 CC: WARNING File = ha_archive.cc, Line = 604
  The variable "ptr" is used before its value is set.

      uint32 size= ((Field_blob*) table->field[*ptr])->get_length();
                                                ^

Looking at the code one sees:
...
  {
    char *ptr;
    uint32 size= ((Field_blob*) table->field[*ptr])->get_length();
...
  }
Which is clearly a bug.
