Because the function 'sb_getblk' seldomly fails to return
NULL value. It will be better to use unlikely to optimize it.

  Thanks, I've merged the patch. But your mailer has apparently wrapped
lines in the patch so I had to fix it up. Please either use mailer that
doesn't wrap lines or send patches as text/plain attachments. Thanks!
