I'm not sure what you're referring to, Gabe... are you talking about atomic mode (that's what "collapse back" makes me think of), or packets that don't have responses, or both? Generally SenderState isn't used in atomic mode, since your stack frame does just as good a job. Also it's not useful if there's no reply. We should make sure that we don't assume that SenderState objects are always dynamically allocated... I don't know if we ever statically allocate them, but we could. Overwriting the pointer with NULL just to signify that we're done with it in that case seems OK to me though.
