Currently the Clang analyzer will complain about usage of an
uninitialized variable in the classifier. This is a false positive, but
not for a reason that could easily be detectable by clang.

The classifier is not safe for multiple writer threads to use
simultaniously so all callers protect these functions from simultanious
writes. However, this is not so clear from the code's static analysis
alone. To help Clang out here, the n_indicies count is saved onto the
stack instead of accessed from the subtables struct repeatedly.
