>> Agreed?

But I'm not sure this will be worth for doing backports, as before
applying this patch a series of other patches touching this code would
have to be applied :-\

I can leave it there, so that we know when the problem was introduced,
i.e. I _guess_ that if this rust or C++ reproducers would be used with
perf built with a64489c56c307bf0955f0489158c5ecf6aa10fe2 as head, we
would see a crash as well.
