I plan to commit the following patch to 4.10, 4.9, 4.8, and 4.7.
It is a partial revert of the patch to PR38199 which is an optimization of
internal unit reads.
The original patch was too aggressive. After this revert, I will investigate
further to see if I can refine it further.
This partial revert looks fine to me - too bad that we have only now
learned about this problem.
For 4.9 prior the 4.9.0 release, you need approval by Jakub, who
probably would like to avoid to have another RC. In case that there is a
second RC, I think it would make sense to include this patch as well.
