Hi Patrick,

Sorry, I didn't explain that clearly. The list items are stored in one allocated array. Cleanup frees that array directly, so it does not have to follow possibly broken list links.

I'll go through the code and simplify the test setup before sending another version. I'll also rewrite the commit message to explain the changes clearly.

Regards, Dilshad
