      'Constant' variable guards dead code

      A variable being assigned only once may be intentionally guarding disabled code, or it may represent incomplete logic where a missing assignment would make the variable not be constant. Variable assigned once to a constant guards dead code.
      /ext/page_log/palm/palm.c:956: DEADCODE 175404 Assigning: "was_zeroed_encryption" = "true".
      /ext/page_log/palm/palm.c:996: DEADCODE 175404 Condition "was_zeroed_encryption", taking true branch. Now the value of "was_zeroed_encryption" is equal to 1.
      /ext/page_log/palm/palm.c:996: DEADCODE 175404 At condition "was_zeroed_encryption", the value of "was_zeroed_encryption" must be equal to 1.
      /ext/page_log/palm/palm.c:996: DEADCODE 175404 The condition "!was_zeroed_encryption" cannot be true.
      /ext/page_log/palm/palm.c:997: DEADCODE 175404 Execution cannot reach this statement: "ret = palm_err(palm, sessio...".
