Fair enough, but that's not what Craig asked is it?
Seems like he gave a helpful, long explanation of how you can help
expedite the process of fixing the bug, to which he received no reply.
We're trying to ensure that bugs are fixed, but also take care not to
introduce further bugs or false fixes that don't move us forwards.
I would have acted on this myself a few days back if I thought the
patch was correct, but I see multiple command counter increments
there, so suspect an alternate fix is correct.
