It's not really a solution either. If your program runs for a couple minutes and then exits, maybe it won't trigger some catastrophic behavior from this hack, but if you have a long running process then you're almost certain to be screwed over by this (it wouldn't even have to be *very* long running - a month or two could do it on a 32bit platform).
