Linked Lists debugger question

Hello,

I am experimenting a little with linked lists. I am using Microsoft Visual
C++ .NET the old one (frame works 1.1... 1998-2002) to test my C code.

Anyhow, I have entered the following:
=============================================
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include "Main.h" //ACM152 HEADER FILE

struct list {
int value;
struct list *next;
};


int main(void)
{
struct list n1, n2;

n1.next = &n2;
return 0; //Breakpoint here!
}
==============================================

My question is, in debug mode, when my program stops at the breakpoint and
I put my cursor over the "n1.next" I read this:

n1.next = 0x0012fec0 {value=0xcccccccc next=0xcccccccc {value=??? next=???}}

I guess that the 0x0012fec0 is the address of the n2 strucure which is
stored into n1.next. But I don't understand what the rest means! I never
assigned a value to "value" and yet why does it show that value is equal to
0xcccccccc ?
And what does the "next=0xcccccccc" mean?

And the doozee! what does the {value=??? next=???} mean?

Any feedback appreciated.
