AFAIR the os3.5 modules don't consume that much stackspace that a patch
like MCPRamLibPatch is required. Only third-party products like MUI may
crash without the patch. This is a bug or misbehaviour of the third-party
product because it breaks the programming guidelines for libraries ...

Then you don't need the patch ;) At least I need it to have a stable system ...
