To allow moving collectors (you can't update a pointer that's not really a
pointer).

Anyway, this problem is taking care of in the implementation by nfxjfg, which
Walter seem to keep ignoring, as he always did with this bug report and all the
useful insight it have. I'm not saying the solution is the best, but it's
completely ignored for no (publicly know reason).

I'll unsubscribe now from this bug report, as it really makes me sick =)

If you want to contact me, your know where to find me...
