RE: Thread-local malloc discussion summary

[Luke Howard <lukeh@PADL.COM>]

The only way we can fix this without breaking API signatures is to
change the semantics of the computed attribute search rewriter so
that the front-end, rather than the plugin, is responsible for
freeing the original search filter. Obviously this is problematic
because only one plugin can rewrite the search filter without
leaking memory.

Another alternative would be to disable the thread-local malloc
entirely if SLAPI was enabled. We would prefer this. Comments?
