I understand your point that it is better to fix the problem at the
source.

I also like Tom's suggestion that the type be checked earlier, and
then just directly choose the right bootX() variant.

So naturally, I withdraw my patch, in favor of your fix - at least I
was able to isolate the source of the crash for you. :-)
