It is documented to be necessary, and it depends on the path through 
T_EO whether you can hit the crash condition otherwise.  It's discussed 
in 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=730244&group_id=10894&atid=110894, 
but personally I think it's still waiting for a fix in the core.
