While this is bikeshedding in its purest form I can jump in.

This is a bug from the first sight as there are two C statements attached to
an `if' conditional.  Two statements always need a block.  This is a bug.

I really do not have time to interrupt myself each time, several times
a minute, looking at the code starting examining what those two statements
semantically are, and therefore if they really require a block or not.


Thanks,
