++ * 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.
