  19. Yes, but I went wading through the source hoping to find any other sign of
  20. copying, and failed.  If any of the C source had been duplicated as
  21. clumsily, I would've expected to have found it.  Instead, the structure, way
  22. of handling cancels, timeouts, etc. all look substantially different.
  23.  
  24. Has anybody found other footprints of this alleged copying in the actual
  25. data structures and algorithms of this implementation?
