Only not sure whether the static is the best solution, the following

Do you realize how much *absolutely unnecessary* code will this bring in? This is certainly worse than your initial patch (if it was correct).

Yep, Sergei's right. Both of our patches are dumb.

Ugh, looks like I'll have t submit the patch myself to stop this ugliness...

Is this what you had in mind?

  Sure.

WBR, Sergei
