I still think this is fairly safe (depends on whether the user
considers an infloop and crash now or possible subtle corruption later
worse), but it's not clear that you personally want to do --debug=yes
for this problem. The reason is that I took a closer look at Ben's
patch and realized that Ben has already identified a couple of places
where this problem might arise. So you may just be letting yourself
in for asserts he already knows about. I'm not going to apply the
rest of the patch until there's been some experience with it in 21.5,
unless Ben really advocates it.
Ben?
