Well, that only partly answers the question. Patch application to me
means the entire process, i.e. up to and including adding the new
patch to the list (read: the crash could also happen there). Hence
I'd still like it to be made sure that even if the addition has got done
only partially, the list remains traversable. Or IOW, I'm not sure the
standard list macros make any guarantees like that.
