I think so, yes.  The only other variables are:

  . current_buffer -- a global variable that always has some value

  . scrolling_up -- computed in the line above this snippet.  It
    depends on margin_pos, which is initialized at the beginning of
    the parent block.

The BVAR macro doesn't reference any variables except its first
argument.

So I'm really puzzled about this one.  Is there any way to ask
valgrind for a more detailed report?
