We haven't set a value for `assumed` at this point, so it's NULL, and in the
new exit path we `exit(1)` when `assumed` is NULL.  OK.

However, I think we don't need this change.  And keeping the `exit(1)` close to
the error message seems like a good idea.  Perhaps, in another series, we could
change it to `die()`.

OK.  But, as above, I don't think we need to change this either.
