        + will get back to them.

        + fixed some bits, found some more.
        + fuzzer goes OOM – releases memory in the timer
        + if you don’t have a mem-leak, but use too much
          in a short period – goes OOM easily.
            + mathtype, startmath filters – using string concats
            + replacing string concats with an OUStringBuffer
    + CVE workaround in all the release branches wrt link loading
