It's rubbish, and needs a complete ground up rework rather than band aid 
patches. IIRC there are at least two different ideas internally of what 
the current stack is and only one of those pays attention to the user 
stack registration stuff.

In fact the user stack registration stuff does very little, and much 
less than most users probably expect when they use it.
