Summary:

On May 29, 2014, Toshi Morita sent an email to the Bitcoin-development mailing list regarding a bug he found while running `bitcoind` under `valgrind`. The bug was due to an uninitialized variable in some cases. Toshi identified that the bug occurred because `nTimeFirstKey` was not initialized when the wallet was instantiated. He fixed the issue in his fork and provided the necessary code changes in his email. Toshi requested a pull request on GitHub from his repository with username "tm314159" if the fix is acceptable. The email also included an advertisement for Restlet, a web API service.
