Interesting. I've not been able to Google this quote.
I actually think as I write it, finding the other ragged and hard to
visually review. But apparently it's an issue for ESL or something,
taught to think in another way.
Therefore, I'll re-code as Linus has prescribed. Sadly, I'm having
very bad luck verifying coding examples by checking against the
installed base, as I found thousands of lines following more usual
secure coding practices....
Thank you.
