This looks good. I vote we apply it on both HEAD and the 0.9.x branch.
Thanks. I have now checked that it passes Subversion's "make check", and, in a debugger, that the new code is actually executed.
I would be very happy if someone would do an overall memory usage check with a very large operation (e.g. in Subversion without the patch that avoids this usage).
