Thanks for the pointer, this works and appears to be the best way to
handle this.

On this point, I did find one instance where I initialized init only to
have my first line of executable code assign to ret, that's obviously
silly, so I fixed that one.

Here, where the first assignment is nested inside case statements or
skipped altogether with explicit returns of error codes, I prefer to
assign it explicitly. A quick survey lists 4k initialized "int ret;"
lines and 16k uninitialized.  The latter appears to be the more common,
but there is certainly precedent for the former.
