Okay, that would look a bit nicer.

For the last 5 years, this is the second time I am ware of this kind of
issue just because of the 64KB->4KB switch on those servers, although I
agree it could happen again in the future due to some new debugging
features etc. I don't feel a strong need to rewrite it now though. Not
sure if Catalin saw things differently. Anyway, Mike, do you agree that
we could rewrite that separately in the future?
