And ? I would vote for not doing anything on this, after all you are
working outside the 'envelope' on this. Is like saying 'I commit with
fsync enabled, but then I zero the disk and the data is lost'. As I
said is like undefined behaviour in C. Currently *0 tends to SIGSEGV
on both reads and writes, but I've worked in OSs where it did only on
writes, and where it worked fine ( like CP/M ). For you the correct
behaviour maybe to fail fast and loose a little speed, for others the
current one may be OK. Normally for this things you go for the path
with less code, as deleted code is bug free.
