[Bug libc/2459] New: Use of uninitialised variable in fnmatch when matching long strings

["richard at ex-parrot dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

In fnmatch() in posix/fnmatch.c, the variable wstring is left uninitialised if
strlen(string) >= 1024.  This appears to the cause of segfaults in GNU ld when
heavily templated C++ results in very long ELF section names.
