This is in fact incorrect. Whilst there may well be a leak that needs
fixing, the rerouting is absolutely needed on non-x86 platforms. See
5884fab46153dee52bda660bcabca95c3cc97f44 and
7de649170fd804668da78f005c7966941b402106 for some of the history behind
this. As a result of this commit the problem described in the second
commit is reintroduced.
