A few minor comments inline.

Gut feeling would be to use i instead of introducing unwind_idx, but it
doesn't really matter if you prefer this.

could you put this move in a precursor patch. It's making a mess
of the diff and hence this harder to review than it should be.

For places where we set freed pointers to NULL, I'd like a comment on why.
Usually it makes me a bit worried we are doing something less than tidy.
