+
+# i386: Bug exists when the `target_xfer_memory' condition
+# `(memaddr + len < region->hi)' operates on 64-bit operands on
+# largecore-patched with 32-bit addresses and so it can get `false' with
+# arbitrary `len'.
+
+# x86_64: The bug is not present as the operands and calculations have the same
+# bit size.  Would would still need to pass there the highest address
+# (`memaddr == 0xffffffffffffffff') but we would need to pass `len == 0'
+# to make the condition `(memaddr + len < region->hi)' false.
+# `len == 0' would get caught eariler.
+
+# Error in the success case is immediate.
