I wouldn't be so optimistic.  While we borrow features and ideas from
each other, the difference still remains that J.H. patches are bit hacky
but are tested, while my rewrite is IMHO cleaner but untested (well, 
untested on real life load).

Anyway the main issue that was discovered by PATCHv6 by me, and v8 by J.H.
is that die_error sucks... well, at least if background caching is enabled.

Anyway, J.H. plans v9, I plan shortened rewrite.
