First of all, sorry for the delay.

Uh, I guess, even if you already did a good work without me, it seems :P

Yes, exactly.

Good catch.

Yeah I think you can go with the latter solution (even as a temporary 
solution). I'll try to have a look to see what triggered that bug. At least I 
had never seen it before, but it may well be that was just because I almost 
never compile the whole tree with DEBUG=1.
