It's not just a patch. Fixing this problem will require
a major VM rewrite. A rewrite I really wasn't willing
to make for 2.4.
I'll start writing the thing, but I won't be aiming at
getting it included in 2.4. I guess I could code it in
such a way to give a drop-in replacement for people
willing to cut themselves on the bleeding edge, though ;)
