With "this", you mean the random assigning of rmctx->pb? I can make
that stop (e.g. a PayloadContext->pb, and use a pointer to that as
rmctx->pb), but the data in it is local too, so I'd have to use
url_resetbuf() instead of this rmctx->pb=NULL. Let me know if you like
that better.

Patch with the above fixed attached... If you like the above, I'll do
that in a patch afterwards since it's a different functional change so
I'm sure you'd want it in a separate patch anyway.
