A return statement there would be unreachable, since the function ends
with an infinite loop that contains no break statements. I'm not
especially fond of adding unreachable code.
I am fond of compiling with GCC's -Wall flag. If that loop ever gains a
termination condition, -Wall will catch that a return statement is
needed there. I'd accept a patch to enable -Wall when GCC is in use and
leave CFLAGS alone otherwise.
