Yes, I noticed one error that crept in with the last version.  ;)  I'm
in the awkward position of having asked you to make changes to your
patch, but will probably not apply it because the competing patch from
Michael Matz is technically superior.  At least is seems likely to me
that Michael's patch (with a few tweaks) will run as fast as yours,
and won't need the splay tree support to be linked in.

So, I apologize for having asked you to do extra work, and I hope this
doesn't deter you from submitting future patches.
