Ok: I've committed a version of the tvbuff code which doesn't keep usage_counts
and used_in lists (SVN #40264). So far there haven't been any reports of
problems.
I've also committed your changes to tvbtest as well as additional changes.
The additional changes included fixes for some bugs which caused the composite
tvb tests to fail.
All of the tests in tvbtest now run successfully. In addition, valgrind shows
no memory leaks.
Again, thanks for the patches. Although I decided to do a different patch to
tvbuff.c to fix the problem, your efforts are certainly appreciated.
(I'm marking the patch as 'not accepted' only because I decided to do something
different).
