It's just that the code had been around for years by that point, and given that, that's not the story the diff tells.


that's true but there are other, material changes in the file including conditional logic very close to the bug - to me that says there was at least some additional editing going on, giving opportunity to introduce an error.

if the entire diff was just + goto fail; that would be extremely suspicious, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
