I guess my concern is that on Sparc64/OpenBSD-3.6* at least, this bug is
exposed by the seg tests but might well occur elsewhere and bite us in
various unpleasant ways.
I have no idea how many people out there are using this combination. Of
course, even it it's only one (and I suspect that's the right order of
magnitude) we should want to be careful with their data.
