You're right; it can go.  It got inherited by an accumulation of merges 
between the FSF and Apple versions.  It's originally from the previous 
FSF version of this function, pre-October-2002, and it appears to be 
useless today.  I'd assumed it was required for the NeXT Objective-C 
runtime; it's not.

How much testing would you require to resubmit the same patch without 
those two lines?
