Sigh. pg_init_required again...

calling pg_init would be pointless.
We're calling __choose_pgpath() before that, so if that returns
with current_pg == NULL all paths are down, and calling
pg_init would be pointless.
But I think I see to have pg_init_required handling cleared up;
I'll be doing a patch to unset it at the start of __choose_pgpath(),
this we we can be sure that it'll be set correctly.
