[Ovmsdev] Working on ESP-IDF5 + Have a question about ovms_module 'Name'

[Michael Geddes]

Oh damn, that is both unfortunate and sad that he is no longer with us.

The high-bit  does seem to almost have a usage, but I'm just not seeing it
quite and there's possibly a bug if it does?
It seems that once you call the   command 'modules task stack'
* this calls get_tasks() which calls populate()
* which then marks all the  tasks in the list with * and high-bit and then
the reloads the existing tasks and names which overrides both * and
high_bit()
* The high bit (and a long task name) will cause the zero() function to not
remove the entry from the list.
* module memory   and  module leaks  commands both call
changes->transfer()  which calls zero(Task) for every item in HeapTotals
that has zero 'after' value for DRAM, D_IRAM and SPIRAM.

So this is really affecting only module commands output.  I certainly think
that the 'and a long task name' part is a weird mistake.  I guess we can
see what we see.
This was all just trying to make it readable and fix the memory access
crashes I was getting when I added in some extra methods required by the
compiler.
