OK, that's certainly fine by me.

I re-checked and the test-suite (in particular tst-cancel20) still
passes, so everything seems fine.  (As a reminder, you don't see the
problem with a GCC that's using the built-in unwinder since the
built-in unwinder maskes the problem due to some excessive copying;
the problem only shows when using a GCC that has libunwind enabled.)

Thanks,
