OK. Although I was complaining that this is not the full truth the last
time, I do not insist on gravy details about the slaughter this will
cause to the rest of the group and that who-ever could fork in the group
can easily DOS the whole hierarchy. It has some interesting side effects
as well but let's keep this to a careful reader ;)
The patch, as is, is still useful and an improvement because it reduces
the impact.
