Hmm. Strange. My memory tells that I did the same thing before.. I
thought that it is somewhat related to compression since repeat('x',
4096) didin't seem working at that time, but it worked this time.
Maybe I was confused between extended and external..
But, in the first place the *fix* has been found to be wrong. I'm
going to search for the right fix..
