Thanks for the patch, but...

...for starters, it breaks the test suite (and I think that can't
be fixed). Sorry, if a solution would be that easy, we would have
put it in a long time ago. I think that any solution should
not meddle with the C code, but rather be implemented in par.pl.
But par.pl also suffers from doing dual duty: being called
from parl proper as well as from each pp-archive (second stage
of bootstrapping).
