num != 0 because some sectors where successfully queried. In my opinion, 
we should print the information about them we have. Then, the do-while 
loop is repeated; and this time, map_is_allocated() either again returns 
num > 0 (for whatever reason, but I'd be fine with it) or, more 
probably, it'll be num == 0 this time. So the error is not missed, it's 
just printed one iteration later.
