No.  Committed code.  Theoretically it had been compiled,
run through static analysis, and REVIEWED before the commit.
I wasn't so much pissed at the coder as disgusted that none
of the rest of the process managed to catch it.

It's apparently not incorrect C (this claim sparked some
discussion), though I would have hoped
that the picker static analysis tools would have complained
that it didn't look "right."  I only found it cause I was
using a fussier compiler.
