The test is wrong.  It looks like SPU initialises locals to 0.

The value field for -var-create is new.  I tried to make the regexp as specific
as possible for a more exacting test. 

If   value=\"($hex).*\"   works in all cases (I might have the syntax wrong,
I mean matching "0xabc" and "0xabc \"blah\"") that would be good. Otherwise
just   value=\".*\"   will do.
