 	- Use ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() in the two critical regions in
 	  fs/ntfs/runlist.c::ntfs_runlists_merge().  This means we no longer
 	  need to panic() if the allocation fails as it now cannot fail.
+	- Fix two nasty runlist merging bugs that had gone unnoticed so far.
+	  Thanks to Stefano Picerno for the bug report.
 
 2.1.23 - Implement extension of resident files and make writing safe as well as
 	 many bug fixes, cleanups, and enhancements...
