Any chance we could test this in 4-exp? Since there are no test suites (especially, for kde) testing per se is very difficult (especially, with my "poor QA skills"). However, I did research back a year or two ago, when the idea first popped into my mind. The define only affects the decoding part of the library and its drawback is increased size of one or two arrays. The change is rather simple, but I did not want to scare anybody by making it right before a release.
