      Quoth David:
      
        "Jeff, please revert
      
         It's wrong.  We had a lengthy analysis of this piece of code
         several months ago, and it is correct.
      
         Consider, if we run the loop and we get an error
         the following happens:
      
         1) attempt of ifb_init_one(i) fails, therefore we should
            not try to "ifb_free_one()" on "i" since it failed
         2) the loop iteration first increments "i", then it
            check for error
      
         Therefore we must decrement "i" twice before the first
         free during the cleanup.  One to "undo" the for() loop
         increment, and one to "skip" the ifb_init_one() case which
         failed."
