From: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com> At the point where r is being checked for different values, r is always going to be equal to 2 as the previous if statements jump to end or end1 if r is not 2. Hence the assignment to err can be simplified to just err an assignment without any checks on the value or r.
