For the record: this failed on a server with legacy "newstyle" protocol
(nbdkit --mask-handshake=0) - such a server lacks nbd_opt_info support,
and you HAVE to use nbd_opt_go to get size and other details.  But when
I fixed this line, it in turn flushed out an assertion failure present
since 1.4 (now fixed) where nbd_opt_go() on a legacy newstyle accessed
uninitialized memory, and nbd_aio_opt_go() could leak resources, because
of a forgotten completion callback invocation.
