Re: Changes To Fixup Saving, Restoring and Swapping

[John Healy <jhealy@redhat.com>]

I don't have any particular use for it myself at this point.  The idea was
just that I didn't see the necessity of wiping out the local/saved copy of
fixups that have just been saved/restored so I chose to give the user a
choice.  I can remove it if you like.  Just out of curiosity though, why
don't you want it in there?  Do you see it possibly allowing something
detrimental to happen?
