Hmmm... found it now.  I'm not sure what happened there, but I
couldn't find it the first time I looked.  Most likely it is a PEBKAC
failure.  Sorry for the noise.

Okay, patch 14 looks good to me too (including Yinghai's comment).
The new allocator seems sane, and I didn't see any obvious errors in
patches 16-47.  I've not tested any of this yet.  Hopefully I'll be
able to carve out some time to do so early this week.
