The shutdown function still has its own static buffer to allow shutdown even if memory is tight, but AFAICS that should not be needed because the buffer can never be too small for shutdown once init is complete. If you agree with that assessment, I could change the shutdown function to use the common buffer as well.
from a glimpse that's true afaics. the shutdown function is registered after the buffer is set to DEFAULT_BUFSIZE. one would want to assert that this is big enough for the shutdown function to work in general... the grow function does what it says. i have not investigated if the buffer makes sense at all, or if it should by generalized... nevertheless i think it would make sense to implement your proposal before a final review... wont get much messier than it is now i guess :)
