  static int isdead = 0;

  if (isdead == 2)

This is apparently a mistake.  This sort of thing usually happens when refactoring gets screwed up.

Seems to have been there for a long time!?   Trying to guess what the original intention might have been here;

I don't think so. See what `static' means for a variable declaration
inside a function.

Still it seems to me that Christopher has a point: the `if' doesn't
seem reachable from any other path, so `isdead' will be always zero
at that point?

It will be "reachable" by the next call to this function.  The code below
the 'if' updates the variable, in several places.

You're right, of course. Note to self: don't read C code before first
coffee had effect.

Sorry for the noise.

Ahh, thanks, I missed that.  So, static means it's remembered out of its declared scope, and so its only initialized first time.

I don't think so. See what `static' means for a variable declaration inside a function.
