Actually, the more I think about this patch, the more I want to drop
it: I'm not a mov expert.

Basically, it makes sense, but the caller tries to handle overreads by
just moving to the expected end of the atom. Not a very sane practive
unless ones knows that code to be prone to such issues and thinks it
can be recovered.

As for the new dref code, I'm not an expert, so no opinion.
