There are a bunch of places in the tree where we return NULL just to
keep the compiler quiet, and where we should never return NULL, as in:
    return NULL; /* keep compiler quiet */

See bbstreamer_gzip.c as one example for non-gzip builds.  Perhaps you
could look at one of these places and see if the marker shows
benefits?
