If this can only be triggered from C code, it less of a concern.

The PR increases cost on a critical path, so we ought to be wary of applying it 
unless a known problem is being solved.

Note, this code path has survived two decades of deployment.  Also, the PR 
doesn't have a test to demonstrate that it fixes anything.  Those facts give 
some evidence that the PR has every user paying to solve a problem that almost 
no one actually has.
