Well, it turns out that the infinite recursion was due to the braindead 
way I implemented that other layer of indirection. A plain C function 
should do the trick.

The attached patch seems to work over here using prerelease GCC 
4.3.0-20071130. I would appreciate it if people give it a try and report 
how it worx 4 them.
