      Description of problem:
      During testing of PCP a possible glibc bug has been discovered. PCP is using valgrind for some tests. One of these tests failed with the following valgrind log:

      > Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
      > at 0x4040410: strcmp (strcmp.S:76)

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      RHEL compose: RHEL-9.3.0-20230726.0
      glibc: glibc-2.34-72.el9
      valgrind: valgrind-3.21.0-7.el9
      pcp: pcp-6.0.5-2.el9

      How reproducible:
      Seen on aarch64 and ppc64le architectures only.
      I do not know how to directly reproduce this.
      This issue appeared during automated testing of PCP and I was not successful to reproduce it manually.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Unknown

      Actual results:
      A valdrind reports an issue in glibc.

      Expected results:
      No valgrind issues are reported.
