Two resource allocation failures triggered further actions
over the label “done” so far.

* Jump to the statement “ndoms = 1;” in three cases directly
by using the label “set_ndoms” instead.

* Delete an assignment for the variable “ndoms” in one if branch.

Please clarify what this patch is for. Is it just a cleanup with no functional changes or is there a bug that is being fixed?

Cheers,
