Hmmm... That's odd. Are you just looking at the code or are you
tracing that the message is being copied 5 times?

The copy should only happen once and only if there's a redirect
encountered. Are you trying with the latest in master or with a
previous release of the library?

Please let me know where these copies occur and when. I can try it out
on my own but it looks like you've looked into it already -- pointers
greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your input Erik!
