What would make you believe this was stable?! This patch has known differences 
in ABI anyway.

I see the recursion source, but I don't know if my fix would be "correct," as I 
do not know enough about the new ABI nor GCC's internals (and therefore 
cross-checking it) to ensure it will behave correctly. I'm erring on the side 
of caution for now.
