Agreed - one of the fixes I made to the register allocator was for a 
dangling pointer bug that exists as far back as the git history - that's 
one thing that definitely needs to be merged into the fixes branch:

Merging to the fixes branch should be under greater scrutiny than the 
trunk though since we have to make sure it doesn't make things worse.
