Is there some good reason for changing the name of those labels ?

Vivien suggested to rename this since it makes more clear that this write is
meant to return to page 0 to make sure that phylib doesn't get confused
about the currently active page.

And "clear:" accomplishes that ? I would not have guessed.
Wonder if anyone else does. I would have used a comment.
	/* Try to return to page 0 even after an error */
or something like that.

"error" definitely doesn't make sense, especially in case of success. If
one has a better suggestion that "clear" for the label, I don't really
mind.

Sounds like POV to me. I don't like changing label names, because someone
else may come the next day and change it again. At the end, one ends up
in a label name war. It also makes patches look more complicated than
necessary, and it _is_ an unrelated change. I don't understand the
problem with adding a comment, and using a label name in place of a
comment seems odd to me.

Anyway, this has all become philosophical, meaning I'll stay out of it.
Pick whatever you want ...

Cheers,
Guenter
