Comment (by simonpj):

 I have not thought about this deeply, but wouldn't something very similar
 happen with your change?  The program will still crash, won't it?

 Would you like to give a test case?

 In any case, you are right that if you are going to do this at all, then
 something deepseq-like would be more thorough.

 By all means send a patch (with comments to explain).   Thanks.

 Simon
