 Big problem with this approach is that we can't scope our variables in
 `{}` which we do heavily at least in the HS tests. So we should make all
 of them global to the function and just free all of it in `done:`? If so,
 I can open a ticket just for that pass on the test.

 I'm surprised that Coverity doesn't find _more_ of those as there are a
 lot.
