Actually there were better patches for the same bug by Meador, including
git-style rather than SVN patches and adding a helper to initialize it
consistently at all call sites.

There's also DSP, Octeon, mips64 and signal handling patches around that
someone needs to volunteer to update, test, clean up and queue.
That a patch is on the list doesn't imply that it "just" needs to be
applied though. So please be careful which patches you ping.

Andreas
