I know that I reported this static checker and all, but actually after
reading this comment, I think we should stay with original code.  So
long as we know the list has "least one entry" which we do then the
original code worked fine.

To be honest, I probably would not have even reported this static
checker warning except that I saw there were some other issues and
thought "Eh, why not throw this warning in as well, in case the list
can be empty."

The other three patches look good.
