Miklos, did you have some particular load that triggered this, or was
it just some reports? It would be really good to get this patch some
stress-testing.

I like how the patch removes more lines than it adds, but apart from
that it's hard to read the patch (even the split-out ones) and say
anything more about it. I think this needs a *lot* of testing.
