Allocating temporaries for variable-sized data may sound like "basic 
stuff",
but it is hard to get correct in all cases. I don't see any basis
for your conclusion that the error it is due to incomplete merging. 
Whenever I
merged changes back in, I made an effort to be complete up to that 
specific date.
Maybe you meant to say: ACT may have developed a fix in the meantime, in 
which
case it will be contributed fairly soon.

PS. I'm now testing the complete merging patch...
