[email protected], who originally created the patch (I only did minor changes and
submitted it) can correct me if I'm wrong. He knows better for sure.

I understand that comment and the code the way you do. But if strictly required
the patch can be modified with memory allocation for the buffer, it looks a
little overkill though.

I posted cem patch almost as is, but I am open to suggestions and requests to
make it better.
