Ah, you're right, I do need to check this.

Oops.  I even spotted that one at some point, then forgot about it
again.

Good catch.  Also, there's only one use of that label, so there's not
really any reason to use a goto at all.  Adjusted.

Maybe, but that's not really in scope for these patches.

Hrm.  I'd prefer to keep the goto: when most 1-line if statements are
the exception/failure case, it's very easy to miss that here it's the
success case.

No, I think you're right.  Looping only on -ENOMEM is a better idea.
