dtc: Audit and fix valgrind errors

The somewhat embarrasing bug in the first version of my previous patch
would have been detected by valgrind.  Thus reminded, I've run the
testsuite under valgrind and fixed any errors I found.  This turned
out to be just some uninitialized buffers in test programs.  The
fragments of uninitialized data aren't particularly important, but we
might as well squash the valgrind warnings, so that future valgrind
errors will stand out.
