I don't have any particular opinion here, but I'll NACK the patch in
this form. If everybody else agrees with the patch _and_ there are at least
3-4 lines of code comments which explain all the issues involved here, the
drawbacks and advantages of this (and the alternative) solution(s) etc.,
I'll be happy to ACK :) As already stated, this is way too tricky and
non-obvious to go in without a good code comment.


Uwe.
