Ok, the bugfix alone might look like the attached. Couldn't avoid
the little refactoring of the multiple occurrences of the same loop
up the heap into the heapify_up(), mirroring the heapify() that was
already there (renamed heapify_down() for clarity).

I'll rebase the speed-up patch on top of this, if it's a better approach.

Anyone with further comments?

Thanks again!
