Yes, it was my patch, it is completely my fault, I take all the blame.. I'm
very sorry about that...
The patch had been reviewed but through another revision that was mentioned
in the comments... I should have put a link to it as opposed to only the
revision ID (I'm used to internal tools that inserts the link automagically
so I only put the rev number).

The problem is that after a merge conflict, I completely forgot to rebuild
on Mac and Linux (which I have been doing regularly for over a month for
this specific patch that has been opened forever and it wasn't trivial to do
so) and so I broke the build last night (well, night in EDT). I quickly
found the problem and fixed is and tried to build it on Linux but V8 didn't
want to build after many re-sync and clobbers, I had not clue what was
happening there, so I sent it to the try server and it built find, so I
committed the re-landing... I know... I should not rely on the try server,
but I have tried this patch many many times on all platforms and never had a
problem... I tried again this morning and I had to create a whole new view
of the repos to be able to properly build.

The current problem is easy to fix, it is a last minute check that I added
in platform independent code in reply to a code review suggestion and it
didn't trigger on Windows (so I didn't see the error when I tested the
platform independent code) and for some reason it started triggering on
Linux after the last time I tried to run on Linux... It was a simply typo of
an embedded for loop index that was causing a protective _DEBUG only DCHECK
to fire... I could fix it easily this morning... But I'm not going to try
this patch again soon, cause I noticed that it didn't completely solve the
performance problem I was trying to solve... So I don't feel too good about
it... (anybody has a *Harakiri* sword to spare? :-)...

I'm very sorry that I caused so much trouble, and I will be much more
careful next time...

I'm hope you will all have a very good day anyway... :-)

BYE
SAD (the-developer-formerly-known-as-MAD :-)
