Sorry, should have mentioned that explicitly, but forgot about 
it.

Hm, so in my own conflict resolution I kept that check, last I 
heard Boris was still seeing weirdnesses (read: crashes) on 
32-bit and I'm not sure even the full series fixes it all.

In any case, would be nice to double check this and reinstate the 
limitation explicitly if it's still needed, or apply a fix.
