Thanks Mario! I've looked at that patch: it seems to only affect overlapping buffers. I think, in the openssl case, the private buffer is always distinct from the user buffer. Can anyone think of any cases where that wouldn't be the case? > * substring/shared is the same as substring in CHICKEN, AFAIK. That's only called once in the corner cases so it doesn't really matter if it wastes a copy. It's just there to stop junk in the tail of the buffer being sent to the user.
