 426                 if (statp->nscount > EXT(statp).nscount)
 427                         for (n = EXT(statp).nscount, ns = 0;
 428                              n < statp->nscount; n++) {
 429                                 while (ns < MAXNS
 430                                        && EXT(statp).nsmap[ns] != MAXNS)
 431                                         ns++;
 432                                 if (ns >= MAXNS)
 433                                         break;
 434                                 EXT(statp).nsmap[ns] = n;
 435                                 map[n] = ns++;
 436                         }

In this loop 'ns' is initialized to '0' and updated on a simple while with
2 constraints.  Someone with more compiler background could correct me, but
I don't think this is really hard to compile evaluate that will fall
in 0 <= ns < MAXNS in all cases.
