Yes.  Once I make rangebuf static then subordinate_parse is ok (at least
interface wise).  But the bug is real and I will get out an incremental
patch shortly.

The subordinate_parse really isn't ok as I claimed a minute ago I had
overlooked I copied everything into the local variable rangebuf before
processing.  In practice it works of course but that is luck.

Welcome.

Do you think you can start getting this into Ubuntu?
