I'd really appreciate it if you could stop bombarding the mailing list
with comments and patches.  There's already an accumulated backlog of
patches that I need to look at, and the issue at hand (stack overflows)
is actually orthogonal to the idea of reusing argvectors more.

Because these two things are orthogonal I would strongly prefer to fix
the stack overflow issue with the smallest possible patch and then make
a release.

Besides, you're wasting time until this has been fixed because the
argvector code might get modified a lot, so that means your patches
will probably conflict after the actual bug has been fixed.

Cheers,
Peter
