All code is in blocks. Don't forget the curly braces that
delimit the function body :-)

In C89 you can't have
{
declaration;
statement;
declaration;
}
You have to put all the declarations at the beginning of the
block, i.e.:
Wrong (does not compile):
void foo(void)
{
int x;
memset(&x, 0, sizeof(x);
int y;
}
Right:
void foo(void)
{
int x;
int y;
memset(&x, 0, sizeof(x);
}
More comments later when I've got time to look at the new patch.
