Ah, I see.  If we never reach the part of the code where the pstore gets
written to disk, then there should be no backup.  If one does exist,
then we didn't create it on this run.

The code should still be fixed so orig gets set, wherever it is supposed
to be set.  There's a similar case on line 102 where orig is always
true.

You are correct.  This isn't immediately obvious, though, from the code.
