That's okay; problems are as easy to fix after commit as before...

Agreed on all; we'll fix up later (Sameer and I can negotiate as to
who will do it :-) ).

Okay, all the above we can fix up -- thanks for noticing.

Gotcha, will fix.

It helped me, but it's a matter of taste I suppose.

Double oops.

Hey, good point.

Quite true.

Good point.

Okay, at this point I'm going to stop going over this line by line and
ask VK Sameer if he would like to produce a followup patch addressing
all the issues you raise in this mail? That's my idea of "negotiate":
ask Sameer if he'll do it :-). Sameer, if you don't have time, that's
fine, then I'll do it, but you're more familiar with the code and the
protocol.

Thanks so much for the analysis, Peter.

Sameer, want to have a go at it?

Heh, we had the pool-vs-subpool discussion during review, but I didn't
think to ask "why store it in the struct?".

But it would improve pool usage too, which is good.

I didn't think of that either; thanks.

I haven't quoted the rest, but they are excellent points -- this was
an amazingly thorough review, thank you Peter.

Sameer: ball can be in your court or mine, let me know your preference.
