+ * and aren't guaranteed to be accessable *at all* outside of their 
+ * containing scope.
+ *
+ * Above and beyond all of that, the variables within blocklist_func_context
+ * are originally local variables, with local (not even static) linkage,
+ * from within blocklist_func.  These were each referenced by
+ * disk_read_blocklist_func, which is only called from other functions
+ * through a globally scoped pointer.
+ * 
+ * The documentation in GCC actually uses the words "all hell will break
+ * loose" to describe this scenario.

+ * Also, "start_sector" was also used uninitialized, but gcc doesn't warn
+ * about it (possibly because of the scoping madness?)
