Agreed. However, if you can make SBuf/MemBlob use memory pools before
those pools are initialized, then we do have a bug worth fixing (even if
Yuri does not suffer from that specific bug). It may be possible to
easily reproduce _that_ bug by adding a few static SBuf variables
directly to squid.h.

Why would that make any difference? Whatever pools MemBlob is using,
they must be initialized prior to use. Thus, it is probably best to fix
"old_api" initialization than to duplicate that [buggy] code.


HTH,
