Yes, I've read both patches.  I've even discussed Stephen's patch with
Stephen off-list.

Especially true in C, LOC and complexity are not related.  Imagine
this one line of code:

  Ns_FrobSomething(((Ns_Frob *) frobPtr)->thing);

Pretend this actually did something.  Is it complex?  Do you understand
what it might actually do?  Before you start saying "but nobody writes
code like that" ... look inside the AOLserver source.
