I can't reproduce a segfault. I don't see how that code would lead to
one. Can you share what you're doing to cause it? Simply running the
regression tests doesn't do it for me.

The v5 patch has quite a lot of code shared between both branches. I
was trying to avoid that in the v5 patch. Is there any way to clean it
up?

I like the how the test change makes it easy to verify the range_len column.
