Yay! The COW has landed! All praise the newly bovine Parrot! (Now THAT's an odd image... gimp, anyone?)
Favorite quote from the patch: + /* Buffer's memory data is in this header's header pool's memory pool */ Many thanks to Peter and Mike for implementing this and pushing it all the way through. Since this was the one major outstanding patch that I was aware of, what do people think of applying Brent's struct Parrot_Interp cleanup now?
