Umm. Or more? If you look at one register, you tend to look at several. 
And we're not exactly talking kilobytes here.

Anyway, the existing patch is certainly easy to make a judgment on: it's 
not a regression fix but a new feature, so I'm not applying it. I was 
suggesting _making_ it a regression fix, but I really don't care.
