Let me elaborate why I am asking.

1. If you did the tests and with this fix the debugging stuff works
fine, then it is OK to take this patch now and let you improve the FM
debugging coverage a bit later.

2. If you did not verify, then the assumption is _may_ be broken anyway,
then I would prefer to not take this patch, because I consider it to be
a band aid.
