From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> It is impossible for frontpkt to be null at the point of the null check because it has been assigned from rearpkt and there is no way realpkt can be null at the point of the assignment because of the sanity checking and exit paths taken previously. Remove the redundant null check.
