Yeah, this code really needs more work and extensive verification.

I'm dropping this patch because it's only a partial fix. Backporting
it alone, with known data corruption issues remaining (and without the
copy-from2 patch that fixes another data corruption issue that is much
easier to hit), doesn't make sense.
