Jeff, this appears to be very good piece of code.  I must admit I
haven't looked at actual trie implementation close enought to actually
understand what it does, but overal it looks good.

Now I must find some time to integrate this (and a few other
contributions too, which has been done before) into main code.

Should we make v6 listings a reality finally?

Besides, I'm not sure adding master-format dump support for v6 is a
good idea generally - again, exactly because of the same reason,
since the address space is very large.

Thank you very much!
