Hi Al & Christoph,

Again, this really needs fixing.  Preferably - as a separate commit
preceding this series, so that it could be
backported.  simple_read_from_buffer() is a blocking operation.

I'll put together a patch that fixes this.

Christoph: I'll do it in a way that matches your changes to the _read
functions, so hopefully those hunks would just drop from your change,
leaving only the _dump additions. Would that work?

Cheers,


Jeremy
