Curious.  It seemed to me to be very common for us to assign something 
and then immediately (no blank line) check its validity. Just a quick 
sanity check (not using this file, which at this point I've touched 
extensively), I tried libdtrace/dt_bpf.c.  Indeed, lots of this 
practice, and you seemed to be the last person to touch those spots.  I 
like the close spacing, but don't care a whole lot; I just wanted to 
double check since the patch seems to follow common practice in this 
particular regard.
