Hello again,

 |[.] I'm awaiting
 |a response of the bug reporter (again: [1]), if i get positive
 |feedback i really think i'm gonna release a new minor.

Thomas responded positively, so here we are.

On the other hand Gavin has brought to our attention a problem
with command expansion.  Whereas this is (unfortunately) again
part of a larger topic, the laststring() related problems that he
has shown i'm in the process to address at the moment.

Also, Thomas' bug report has shown that the BSD memory caches do
not really support, and the GNU LibC memory allocator only weirdly
supports debugging only.  Thus i'll add encapsulating canaries for
the debug memory wrapper of S-nail in order to catch buffer
overflows on our own (and get sane and useful messages on error,
not this arbitrary nonsense that could be seen in the ticket).

I think it makes sense to do some more testing with the two latter
changes before releasing a minor revision.
But, since on GNU Linux systems S-nail is effectively unusable for
at least reading of mails, i think i'll release a subminor today,
and the announced minor right before Christmas.

Unfortunately i did not have had the time for the promised list
selection fixes etc...  :(
