i'd like feedback from the main mtd guy(s) first, but if you're going
to queue things, it should be with v2 that i posted rather than this
set.

while mine doesnt explicitly mention leak fixing, it does fix it in
the process of moving code about.  so if you do add v2, you can safely
drop the leak fix.
