 That's not what causes my problems, because I see them in both normal and
 bare mode. I justed checked that.


 In general the C++ code should always check whether there's an event
 handler for a particular event before allocating val_list for it (both, to
 prevent leaks and to not waste time allocating stuff we never need). If it
 doesn't that's a bug. Do you know which event were causing the problem? We
 should try to fix the problem there too.
