This is a lazy changelog really.

'This is the correct patch' has no technical value.

What is VLA ? Sure, _now_ its pretty clear since we have floods of
these patches, but...

In one or two years, people reading it will not understand the logic of
this patch.

I had to look at the source to understand what was going on, and that is
not a good sign for a trivial patch like that.
