3.5.7.23 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

------------------

From: Henrik Rydberg <rydb...@euromail.se>

commit 5f4513864304672e6ea9eac60583eeac32e679f2 upstream.

After reports from Chris and Josh Boyer of a rare crash in applesmc,
Guenter pointed at the initialization problem fixed below. The patch
has not been verified to fix the crash, but should be applied
regardless.
