About this patch... I hope it doesn't get merged without good reason...

I have no intention at all of merging it until it's proven to be a net
benefit.  This is engineering.  We shouldn't merge VM changes based on
handwaving.

It does fix a bug (ie: a difference between design intent and
implementation) but I have no idea whether it improves or worsens anything.

[handwaving]
