I am trying to repost, found I missed this place.

Is it OK to add more informatin in printing as below?
if (d->pgt_buf_offset >= d->pgt_buf_size) {
                debug_putstr("out of pgt_buf in misc.c\n");
                debug_putaddr(d->pgt_buf_offset);
                debug_putaddr(d->pgt_buf_size);
