^^^^^^ This is massive

I have no explanation for this either, but you really should try to figure
out what's going on here.

The only difference between plain rc1 and rc + this patch is the resulting
text size and therefor some other unrelated stuff moving to different
places in memory which has some yet to figure out side effects.

Thanks,
