I'm in favor of including the new bucket allocator API in .34, in order to stabilize the API for 3rd party module maintainers. The *implementation* of the bucket free lists, though, will need a couple more weeks of development and testing. So if we include the new API in .34, we'll have to use the malloc-based allocator implementation (from Cliff's original patch). --Brian
