Can any of these conditions be true?

Move the assignment out of the condition.

Ok.  This code was already really stupid before this patch but now it's
even more idiotic.  Just put these things things directly into the
string instead of abstracting the abastractions of the abstract
abstractions.  Sheesh.

Don't do pointless assignments.  The compiler has builtin checks for
uninitialized variables but now you are turning the checks off and the
compiler can't do its job.

These dbg statements are totally pointless.  Just use strace.

The temptation here would be to change the debug statement to an on by
default print statement.  The other option would be to just remove all
the debug statements.

Etc...  For the rest of this patch.  Remove abstraction levels and dead
code.
