These patches are ontop of the patches I sent (and which Muli resent a few days afterward).

This is mostly error path bugs and clean-up/code re-org (to save memory and make things more cache friendly). The changes are mostly minor. If you are uncomfortable with applying them, we can separate patches 3, 4, and 5 (which are the bug fixes) from the rest and send those to you. Is that more acceptable? Thanks, Jon > -Andi >
