Would you characterize this as being a fix for stability, performance, or some of both?
Both, plus code cleanup with no user-visible effect. HEAD dynlist.c rev 1.72 = performance & cleanup, 1.73-1.74 = fixes, 1.75 = cleanup. If you're cherry-picking recent changes, you might as well grab the fix 1.76 for ITS#6758 as well.
