char variable in 'so_txtime.c' & 'txtimestamp.c' were left uninitilized
when switch default case taken. which raises following warning.

	txtimestamp.c:240:2: warning: variable 'tsname' is used uninitialized
	whenever switch default is taken [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

	so_txtime.c:210:3: warning: variable 'reason' is used uninitialized
	whenever switch default is taken [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

initializing these variables to NULL to fix this.

minor typo in the first sentence, and there is somewhat interesting
context in the v1. But no need to respin just for that.
