Missing sign-off.

Other than that, I did not find anything questionable in the
conversion.  By sticking to the two simple invariants:

 - we use "err" as our return value when we jump to "out:"

 - we always keep "names" and "names_after" freeable, and free them
   when we jump to "out:".

the exit status and leak prevention are both very clear (and the
behaviour is not changed---it is not like there are any existing
leaks that are plugged by this restructuring of the loop).
