Several users reported this crash of NULL pointer or general protection, the story is that we add a rbtree for speedup ulist iteration, and we use krealloc() to address ulist growth, and krealloc() use memcpy to copy old data to new memory area, so it's OK for an array as it doesn't use pointers while it's not OK for a rbtree as it uses pointers. So krealloc() will mess up our rbtree and it ends up with crash.
