Horrible and embarrassing. :-|

But interesting at the same time. It feels like the compiler took the
opportunity to optimize away the undefined code. It would have been nice to
get a warning from the compiler though, something like "taking the address
to a temporary stack variable and using it after it has gone out of scope"
etc.

Moving bootpath to the top of the function should work then:
