I think this comment is spot on.  So I'd accept the patch too, though my
gut reaction is to revert to whatever was in 5.7.1 because of the late
point in this release cycle and we're redsigning critical code on the
fly right before a release.

We really need a test C function to check this stuff.  Any volunteers?
