My goal was to stop possible crashes in the field without requiring package
builders using gcc 4.4 to carry extra patches until the problem is properly
resolved. Part of the rationale for suggesting this was that it looks like the
problem might take a while to solve and I was anticipating that when debugging
the problem it would be easy to revert the patch locally if desired.

But if you feel that approach is undesirable, it's easy enough for the
packagers to include a local patch for now...
