Comment (by simonpj):

 * I'm all for fixing bugs in the STM library -- thank you!
  * Simon M is the expert.
  * I think the Core Libraries Committee makes the decision.
  * In any patch, ''please'' comment the relevant point carefully,
 referring to this ticket, so that no one changes it back!

 Simon
