No. There is a good reason the "= NULL" part has been removed. When added, the 
variable takes space in the binary (flash). And for a correctly initialized, 
non-buggy system, the explicit initialization is not needed anyway, as the C 
standard guarantees to zero these variables on startup. So you see the result 
of a bug in your system startup, not in lwIP.
