Yes, but the bug was fully mine in the disable_acs_redir code. That
patch only just made it noticable to me.

Yes, I also think it was possible to trigger without that patch. I just
never hit it.

Yes, I guess in theory, it will also depend what happens to the RAM the
parameter pointer points too. On my system it's panicing trying to
access unallocated RAM, on yours it may be reading RAM that's used for
another purpose and spewing garbage because of it.
