I expected the conflict with Mel's change in recent mmotm but doesn't want to send patches against recent mmotm because it has several problems in compaction so my test was really trobule. I just picked patches from Hugh and Vlastimil and finally can test on it. Anyway, I will rebase my patches on recent mmotm, hoping you picked every patches on compaction part and respin after a few days.
