Did anybody ever actually look at this sh*t-for-brains patch?

Yeah, I'm grumpy. But I'm wasting time looking at patches that have
new code in them that is stupid and retarded.

This is the VM, guys, we don't add stupid and retarded code.

LOOK at the code, for chrissake. Just look at it. And if you don't see
why the above is stupid and retarded, you damn well shouldn't be
touching VM code.
