move "out" and "in" down to inside the for loop as well.

move this "head" declaration inside for-loop below.

why do we need so many locals?

don't break strings, keep all the bits between " " together, even if it
is longer than 80 chars.

same comment as previous patch, len is a size_t which is unsigned.

don't need { } here.
