Silence assorted "variable may be used uninitialized" warnings.

Silence assorted "variable may be used uninitialized" warnings.

All of these are false positives, but in each case a fair amount of
analysis is needed to see that, and it's not too surprising that not all
compilers are smart enough.  (In particular, in the logtape.c case, a
compiler lacking the knowledge provided by the Assert would almost surely
complain, so that this warning will be seen in any non-assert build.)

Some of these are of long standing while others are pretty recent,
but it only seems worth fixing them in HEAD.
