Russell,
thanks for tracking this down. It turned out to be a reentrancy problem
which was silently ignored by the original ARM implementation.
I uploaded a new patch series which contains the ARM side fix and I
added error messages for that case at the appropriate places.

Ingo, Ben,
can you please check whether the following patch does trigger any false
positives for you ?
