It's an accident looking for a place to happen.  See:

When it does happen, the results are ugly, hard to predict, and almost
always fatal.

If the problem can be avoided relatively easily, I'd recommend doing
it.

Yes, I agree that kmdb should be smarter here (or maybe redesigned if
that's what's necessary), but adding new commands that just fly apart
when used as directed won't make anybody happy.
