Fix uninitialized-variable bug.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 94f5246ce1ca · 2015-10-09T09:12:03.000-05:00
For some reason, neither of the compilers I usually use noticed the uninitialized-variable problem I introduced in commit 7e2a18a. That's hardly a good enough excuse though. Committing with brown paper bag on head. In addition to putting the operations in the right order, move the declaration of "now" inside the loop; there's no need for it to be outside, and that does wake up older gcc enough to notice any similar future problem. Back-patch to 9.4; earlier versions lack the time-to-SIGKILL stanza so there's no bug.
