Good - my current world has got rid of the segfaults/corruption in the cleanup on power - but those
are only after it stumbled over the htab problem.

I don't know the innards of power/htab, so if you've got any pointers on what upset it
I'd be happy for some pointers.

(We should probably trim the cc - since I don't think this is userfault related).
