But currently all these optimization have come at the cost of various  
new bugs in the ansistring handling (and possibly also in the heap  
manager), so don't use the current 2.1.1 for production work at this  
time. According to someone else's tests, svn revision 1948 is safe  
revision 1966 and onwards isn't (I don't think he tested 1949-1965,  
but 1949 is the one with the first optimizations).
