I see in patch 35 you introduced the init function. Could you please
introduce fastmap init/close functions earlier, and add this line to the
fastmap close function instead of adding yet another ifdef to wl.c.

If you want I can rebase.
I did all fixes first and then the cleanups.

Thanks,

That would be very helpful.

Well, the first patch adds debugging stuff - not exactly a fix ;-)

Let's name it robustness stuff. ;)
Seriously, I did first all fixes and the code cleanups later to make
it easy for others to backport these fixes.

Thanks,

Less back-porting efforts is a good goal. But then the robustness patch
should also come later, I think.
