Looks good.  Thanks for your helpful analysis.

Thanks, good to know I was of some help :-)

[ For pedantic correctness, of course, s/word/dword/ in the last mail,

Yup. That shouldn't happen, but I can see that it is possible.

There was another case were ex_uuid could conceivably be referenced
while NULL that I fixed a little while ago.  Looks like I need to fix
this one too.  Something like the following.
