Yes, I did ask for you to do that and I kinda expected to see the
result for review again after that. I did not review the changes
that were committed.
A second review would have caught the bug you introduced by
integrating the bug fix into my patch as I would have suggested that
you keep the enhancment and the bug fix as two separare commits.
Then the commit logs that would have a 'use init_once' commit and a
'deadlock + memory leak fix' commit....

You could have asked for an updated patch when you found it
didn't apply. I had one ready to go and ended up posting
it twice before your commit...

Your choice, but either way I kind of expect some kind of dialogue
when changes are neceessary. It only takes a few seconds to send a
'doesn't apply - can you update/going with original bugfix'
message.
Cheers,
