others have mentioned this already, but "fixes a few crashes" is too generic
for a commit message. you should always explain *why* you're doing something
in as much detail as required for someone to reproduce or at least
understand the issue. in a few months time, most of us will have forgotten
what this patch was about and then rely on the commit message to refresh our
memory.

happy to merge this with this bit removed and adjusted so that size only
changes in the success case. but I will need a commit message that explains
bits in more detail.
