How is the locking of the information maintained. A wild guess is that
the threads maintaining the connection and associated data is
changed during the creation of the status page. In other words
some pointer gets changed or some memory block gets freed and the
pointer is not made NULL and testing the pointer for not NULL would
make you think it is still there. Thus more locking is needed for
simultanious access of the data. I noticed that this is a problem
while making an SNMP extension.

WOuld do you want to do?? 1) branch of from 1.2.0 release and add the fixes
there or 2) take the current head and fix that??

I would advise against this. The numbering scheme is not inconsistent.
Almost every one would say 1.2.0 is a newer release then 1.1.7.
And this also depends on how and where you want to branch/tag from.
