While I'm happy to see these fixes, I am sad to see anyone using
purify.  The developers of purify did something particularly nasty:
they published a paper in Usenix explaining how purify works,
and then we found that they are patenting it--so that the paper
was just a trap, leading to a lawsuit for anyone who tries to use
the ideas therein.

It might be useful to send them an angry letter saying you will
give their product a negative recommendation on account of the patent.
