I am getting many warnings from static analyzers about uses of uninitialized 
stat buffer in the copy_internal() function.  I think it is related to the 
optimization of stat() calls implemented by Paul recently.

If you think that the reported code paths are not feasible, please make
the buffer at least explicitly initialized to make sure that it behaves 
predictably in all corner cases.

Details attached.
