I should quantify this. The pointer/counter bug was fixed a long, long time ago, but at the time slipped through the net with regard to being published on the known issues page. That was a very unfortunate oversight. Sbahra emailed a few weeks ago to inform me of the issue (and the others he raises) and I checked the existing code base, to see the pointer/counter issue already fixed and the other issues unclear (specifics were not given). I replied, but no reply - but sbahra is a busy guy and also very competent, so I consider it likely his comments have merit; I will look further into them once I've finished my immediate release 7 work. With regard to adding the pointer/counter issue to the known issues page, this I did today - I thought about it earlier, but release 7 was is so close to coming out and the bug has been present for so long, it seemed a pretty moot point (actually of course that's completely untrue; people using six need to know, so they can know to update their code).
