[Jim Meyering]

I did not try to see if fixing this bug changes how patch works.

Subject: [PATCH] avoid a used-uninitialized error

* src/util.c (fetchname): Avoid a used-uninitialized error.
Before, when "*t == '\n'", stamp.tv_nsec would have been
used undefined.  The fix is to set that member rather than
stamp.tv_sec, which is already set to the desired value.
This was reported by coverity.
