I prefer to leave the comments because they were immensely helpful for
figuring out the correct variable types in the refactoring series.  If
they can help someone else (e.g. 2024 me) figure out what this code
does, they're worth leaving in.

However, I'll fix the formatting errors to try to get the lines back to
around 80col.  I'll also get rid of the pointless comments like:

int error; /* error value */

Agreed.
