Maybe seven. :)  I just tried your git head, numerous times, and can't get
"my" segfault to occur with it. Gee, little sad, like a long lost friend
departed. :)

Seriously though... not sure if this is good news or not, since it sounded
(from your prior ML message) that you were suspecting that this particular
segfault was more likly due to issues other than those you had addressed.
But perhaps I misunderstood ...? Please educate me on this, I may have
misinterpreted whether you were or were not expecting your static->malloc()
fixes to kill this problem.

Btw, just for completeness, I verified that the segfault does still occur with
the 1.9.1 version (binary from the distro) and also with 1.9.1 built from the
sources against whatever versions of various libs are installed on this machine
right now (since I had synched it to the repos very recently).  It does still
occur with both.

So anyway... regardless of whether it was "expected" to be fixed or not... it
evidently is, so thank you for your attention and diligence on this.  Pleasure
to work with you on it.

Regards,
Glenn
