I could carry that patch myself and not complain about it
any more if there's no intent to produce a "real" fix, but
I doubt that that's really the path we want to take in the
long run.

We'll end up with a bunch of broken paths when enabling
debug, making any sort of debugging slow and useless, which
isn't a desirable result to say the least.


Thanks,
Sasha
