No harm done. This is CVS after all.

Does the change in behavior mean a better and more compliant RTEMS ?

If so then we need to turn this code on by default and allow a user to disable 
it if they need time to fix their application.

If this is an improvement to RTEMS I would like to see it on. I intend to do 
some more testing when I have the time.

The issue was a bug in the configure part of the patch caused the code to be 
compiled in and this exposed the bug. If the configure bug had not existed the 
code could have sat with the bug for a long time.
