Yeah, and we should strive to avoid that issue.

The thing is, think about address randomization. We can pretty much
assume that is going to be the standard behavior due to it being
really cheap (just a trivial boot time cost), and helping some
security issues.

So we might have a few ambiguous cases, that's still better than the
alternative.
