  Ok, that means I can throw away the early-exit indication code.  I'd have
used 'abort' or 'exit' calls rather than return, myself; it makes it clear
to both compiler and user that a noreturn function has been called.  That
simplifies the patch nicely.

  Meantime I just found a rather evil bug that needs patching.  More later.
