At this point it doesn't matter since you only check one field now, but
there was definitely a logic bug in both 1.76 and 1.78.  If you want to
terminate a loop when both a and b are zero, you can do either:

        for (...; a != 0 || b != 0; ...)

or:

        for (...; !(a == 0 && b == 0); ...)

However, both 1.76 and 1.78 did:

        for (...; a != 0 && b != 0; ...)

Which will terminate the first time either a or b is zero, not when
both are zero.  The fact that my wavelan card didn't probe until
1.77 should help to prove that.
