This is the first take at it; I still didn't have time to test it
(0.37 building, slow) ... but I don't think I screwed up anything 
- Saurabh, would you mind torturing it a little bit in your x4 to 
make sure it is not leaking memory anywhere? Performance wise it 
should do nothing to the system ...

Thanks
