Because otherwise it wouldn't work.  The "static" is very important --- that
means that this variable will hold its value through all invocations of the
function; the initialization to FALSE happens at program startup time
(actually, at compile time, i believe).  This code basically means, by default
we have not been here; the first time we run through it, we will set the flag,
and on all subsequent invocations we will bail out early.
