I really don't like those goto e_nomem type of things.  When you're
laddering gotos you should do that kind of thing before the gotos so
that when people add new gotos it doesn't make a mess.  It's the same
for unlocks, do that before the goto unless it matches a lock at the
very start of the function.  Or if you're doing a goto from inside a
loop then clean up the partial iteration through the loop before the
goto.
