This code is no longer present in git head, *removed* by commit
426cafc. Not added by it. at least that's how I read the history...
However, it still looks to me like we could get to that code with
con=NULL - if the while loop is never executed. Perhaps this is a
can-never-happen situation? Alvaro?
