I have a variant which does not patch the BBDB, but it does this only by
providing a mess of ugly and fragile advisements which need revision
with every BBDB version. I haven't revised them for 2.32, and I'd really
rather not have to :)

I'd recommend it; it's mostly a documentation fix, arranging that, as
the documentation for `bbdb-notice-hook' states,
,----
| Also note that `bbdb-change-hook' will NOT be called as a result of any
| modifications you may make to the record inside this hook.
`----
which is not the case at present.
(OK, so maybe it does a little more than that, allowing the quashing of
change recording too. But I don't think the method I've used to do that
is too terribly ugly, maybe, perhaps.)
ChangeLog entry for this change:
2001-07-18 Nix <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* lisp/bbdb.el (bbdb-suppress-changed-records-recording): New variable.
(bbdb-delete-record-internal, bbdb-insert-record-internal,
bbdb-overwrite-record-internal): Use it.
* bbdb.el (bbdb-annotate-message-sender): Set `inside-bbdb-notice-hook'.
* bbdb.el (bbdb-change-record): Use it to suppress running the
`bbdb-change-hook'.
