It's in my queue. The "fix up an error path" patches are on the bottom
of all my reviews as generally they are a pain to review as it takes a
lot of out-of-band code reading. And they have a bad history of being
wrong. And they are really low on the priority as they really can't be
triggered :)

So I'll get to them, but realize that they are a pain to deal with...
