This is a very small change with very large semantic differences underneath :-).
In the words of "Marathon man"... "is it safe ?" :-) :-).

The only place talloc_destroy_pool is definately needed is in print_notify_send_messages() to
ensure all pending messages get cleaned up after send. You could replace this with
a talloc_destroy() followed by a re-initialization on the send_ctx.

How much have you valgrinded etc. this ?
