Hi Mike... two passes/one pass

can you please have a look at my message with subject "two passes o ver the list..."? i fear that with all this spam we received you didn't see it and i would like to know your opinion and, before that, if that really does work... sorry i posted the modified files as they are and no patches...

i'm also wondering if we can perform checksum in a clever order or there are some headers that compute their checksum both on some upper and lower header infos... when i think about that... in particular i'd like to know if we can rely on the fact that (maybe... it's true) when we need infos from an upper header we need only to go up one header. Hence we could do one only pass by keeping during the single loop a flag that says if the previous header needed a checksum and a pointer to the beginning of the previous header in the malloc()cked buffer (previous means ->next in the pblock structure but i refer to it as previous since we are seeking the list from the tail to the head...)

i'm sorry if i'm telling too many stupid things: i'd like to give my little contribute if i can but i don't want to make you loose your time in explaining me where my stupid ideas have a mistake if they are wrong

thank you very much
