I don't know if you saw my other note, but doing the registration
early has stoped the crashing, but it still hangs in the vmkpath
function. I haven't had chance to investigate further, but it looks
like there might be something wrong in that function as well as the
issue of the operations table.
When I soft reboot after it hangs everything starts crashing, so I
suspect it's trashing memory.

I have no real opinion provided it doesn't break anything. :)
I can see it being mildly annoying having to build the library and
then the frontend when making/testing changes in the core, but a
script can sort that out.

Doesn't affect me, ergo libns is fine :)
