Hi, I'm currently looking at the code. as is, it is far not style(9) compliant. so, I'm fixing that stuff to get in a chance to be integrated to FreeBSD if possible. that help me, also, to check the code. IMHO, there is too many unchecked return values (malloc, etc.), so, the code is far from to be clean. I'll write back to the author ASAP about that.
