Cool, thanks!, BTW, which tree should we attempt to get this merged into?

No warning is issued, I will use that instead. Thanks!

That's right, one of the very first things that the GISB arbiter
checks is whether the faulting error is valid or not, if it is not, it
bails out and so we keep on processing the other exception handlers.
