It made sense, and seemed to explain an issue I was seeing, when I wrote it. But some stress testing of that patch showed that it introduces some problems and instability.
Without the patch I can inject 10,000 errors and have every one of them complete correctly (process gets a SIGBUS with the address of the error). With my patch around 0.4% of injections fail to provide the address to the SIGBUS handler, worse the test gets a fatal error every 600-700 injections.
So, I'm abandoning that patch.
