No problem.  It's one of the many joys of working on a code base that's
up to almost 40 years old: First you have to figure out what the (no
doubt smart) programmer meant to achieve with the code, and then try to
figure out whether it ever even did that, and then whether it's still
working the same way, and then whether it's still relevant due to
changes elsewhere, and then finally whether it can be improved without
breaking odd edge cases on obscure systems you don't have access to.  🙃
