Isn't that a very bad way to write "i = j + 1"?

I agree with Horiguchi-san that

	for (i = 0, headxid = xid;;)

is not great style either.  A for-loop ought to be used to control the
number of iterations, not as a confusing variable initialization.
I think more idiomatic would be

	headxid = xid;
	i = 0;
	for (;;)

which makes it clear that this is not where the loop control is.
