- Make diffs relative to a virgin h5, then try to apply them to h7. That's
- the whole point of patch/diff :-)

- One reason why memory alloced from the VDI is marked M_KEEP is that
- VDI uses a linked list for virtual workstations, and if a program
- crashes or if the programmer forgot to call v_clsvwek, you have a hole
