[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH 1/2] libspe: fix spe_get_event initialization

[Kazunori Asayama]

This patch fixes following problem of libspe v1.0.1.

* spe_get_event() may return uninitialized array of
  `struct spu_event' when:

   - size of the array is greater than 1,
   - some events are available when the function is called.

A program to reproduce this problem is also attached.
