+Subject: [PATCH] Revert "fix copy constructors"
+
+This reverts commit afb2d998fe62f7e829e93e62506bf9968117c9c5.
+
+This commit is wrong and ends up resulting in use after frees because of
+C pointers. The proper solution is shared_ptr instead of C pointers but
+that's a lot more involved than reverting this.
