Random community nit: The attached log message seems to have little to
do with email subject of "Input validation observations". In the
future, when sending a new patch to the list, I'd recommend starting a
new thread, complete with it's own "[PATCH] ..." subject, as
recommended in the patch submission guidelines. It's more likely to
get noticed than when it's tacked onto the end of a largely-unrelated
40-message thread.
Anyway, thanks for the work, I just don't want it to get lost. :)
