real: Eliminate access to uninitialized memory.
When compiling this program with gcobol: identification division. program-id. prog. data division. working-storage section. 01 val pic v9(5) value .001. procedure division. display val goback. the rounding up of .99999...9999 to 1.000...0000 causes a read of the first byte of the output buffer. Although harmless, it generates a valgrind warning. The following change clears that warning. gcc/ChangeLog: * real.cc (real_to_decimal_for_mode): Set str[0] to known value.
