From: \"J. Bruce Fields\" Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 13:55:09 -0400 locks: kill redundant local variable There's no need for another variable local to this loop; we can use the variable (of the same name!) already declared at the top of the function, and not used till later (at which point it's initialized, so this is safe).
