Subject: [PATCH] factorize pack structure allocation
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:58:06 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.1.10.0806241851420.2979@xanadu.home> (raw)

New pack structures are currently allocated in 2 different places
and all members have to be initialized explicitly.  This is prone
to errors leading to segmentation faults as found by Teemu Likonen.

Let's have a common place where this structure is allocated, and have 
all members implicitly initialized to zero.
