I think the compiler sounds brain dead. :P

I think I would go a step further and remove the redirect variable completely.
If we replace the while loop with a do-while, I'm hoping that the
compiler can at least figure that out. Can you see if the patch below works
for win8 (I don't have a build system for win8 myself)? If it looks okay,
I'll submit this to Ira (who's copied).
Fix build on win8
From: Sean Hefty <sean.hefty at intel.com>
The win8 compiler appears to be even more brain dead than its
predecessor. It complains of an uninitialized variable mad in
rpc.c around line 213. Fix this by removing the redirect
variable and using do - while instead.
