I did this way to to follow the "one patch per logical change rule".
The rationale for this patch is to allow doing raw error reports,
as needed by changeset 06/12.

The rationale for 10/12 was to reduce the stack pressure. While
10/12 touches on the above routine, it's main focus is to fix a
previous fixup of using a large space inside the stack during the
memory report preparation.
