Right.
So I played a bit with this patch, and touched it a bit mainly just to
add some more comments; and while at it I noticed that some of the
functions in Util.xs might leak some memory, so I made an attempt to
plug them, as in the attached patch (which supersedes yours).
Now, with my version of the patch applied and using a SQL_ASCII database
to test the problem in the original report, I notice that we now have a
regression failure:

I'm not really sure what to do here -- maybe have a second expected file
for that test is a good enough answer? Or should I just take the test
out? Opinions please.
