+It was trying to read the currently-selected handle without checking
+whether it was selected.  It is actually not necessary to initialise
+the variable this way, as the next use of get-magic on it will clobber
+the cached value.
+
+This initialisation was originally added in commit d8ce0c9a45.  The
+bug it was fixing was probably caused by missing FETCH calls that are
+no longer missing.
