Run the credits, and when the ship flies by the
following valgrind memcheck error occurs:

Looks like lightparam isn't being initialised anywhere
up the call tree.

One more of this kind:

Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

lightparam is a field in the "entity_t" type. According to
client/ref.h:
float *lightparam; /* fraction lit by the sun */

I suspect that in the credit screen no light-source is
defined so lightparam never gets set...

Grepping through the code it appears to me lightparam is
only set by functions that handle light-source related
calculations.

this bug should be fixed already - at least valgrind doesn't report it anymore when the ufo flies by
