Nice commit message, but one convention I like is: when you're fixing
something, refer to the bug in past tense, so it's not confusing with
existing behaviour (i.e. since you're already fixing that bug in this
patch, it's better to write in the past tense about this bug).

Also, since you mentioned the move from stack-based allocation to
heap-based in the cover letter, and since this patch actually does
that, please include a one-liner here for it too.

Otherwise, the series is fine.
