I think you are right, as always. It just need to add four while loops
into first_ptr_list/last_ptr_list/DO_PREPARE/DO_RESET.

Amount those 3 of the place should be able to share a function
(or macro) to find the next not empty entry from list head.

Ptrlist deletion happen so rare, it does not justify the complexity.

Luc, sorry about the bad suggestion.
