Good point.  In case oif is NULL we don't have to search the result
list for a match anyway, so we could do this (not even build tested):


I can take care of this as a followup.

It didn't apply cleanly, but I've integrated it with the change to
initialize oif to NULL and the added #ifdef I had in my first version
and got a clean build.

I sent out a v2 now, but didn't try hard to understand your changes.
