False positive in the robot - I cannot see any path where ret is used 
uninitialized.  Closest might be the handling of NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS, 
which looks like:

if (a || b) {
   if (a) {
     ret = ...;
     if (ret < 0) {
       return ret;
     }
   }
   if (b) {
     ret = ...;
     if (ret < 0) {
       return ret;
     }
   }
   return ret;
}

In fact, those 'if (ret < 0)' tests are pointless, since nothing else 
really happens before the final return ret.

If I'm right about this being what trips up the robot, does changing 'if 
(b)' into 'else' solve the problem, rather than adding an initializer? 
And if so, can we clean up the pointless code while at it?

Yes, you are right, Changing 'if(b)' to 'else' solves the problem.
I will change it and clean up the pointless code in next version.

Thanks.
