I am not aware of any possible problems made by this patch. I am considering it as very
safe.
The problems fixed include random crashes with certain md files (but such md filed probably
don't exist in 2.95.x) and incorrectly scheduled instructions (into colliding units,
because part of collision mask is stripped), and maybe considerable speedup,
because caching works now. (it was originally disabled almost always except for cases
where it was wrong)
