I ithink all I need is to change the API for memory management 
functions, and let the compiler guide me.

That was my mistake. I receive several lists, some of them give a 
Reply-To, others dont. If I am not careful to hit Reply-All: when 
replying to a swox mail, the thread goes private all of a sudden! I was 
concerned about the thread becoming impossible to follow by others, so I 
directed mail to the list again. But I did not consider you might take 
notice of that new privacy.
