While we're at it, can one of my patches for consistent name string handling
among caches be applied?

Once you guys reach a decision about what is the best behavior: strdup'ing it
in all caches, or not strduping it for the slub, I can provide an updated
patch that also updates the slob accordingly.

strduping is the safest approach. If slabs keep a pointer to string data
around then slabs also need their private copy.

You told me that once, but David seemed to disagree.

David, do you agree with this ?
