Val,

Thanks for the feedback (no problem about the delay: I really was not
expecting a response last week).

I should add a caution that these were (mostly) problems that arose in
testing and I tried to fix them (and only them: e.g., in a subsequent
email you found a place where a blk_t should be a blk64_t: there are
probably *many other* such places); in particular, there is no pretense
of a complete and thorough code audit - that still needs to be done and
I'm trying to do it, but I'm not there yet.

Thanks,
Nick
