Spaghetti, if taken to an extreme.

I just made it like this:

if (blah) {
  ...
  release_and_return 1;
}

Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to make an argument optional in macros
so it's "release_my_buffers(); return" which could cause problems for
single line if statements.  Other than that, you can just do:
release_my_buffers();
return;
and skip the #define altogether! :)
