Oops, I've changed plans for that bug and sent a more minimal patch that
simply covers over the problem rather well than fixes it 100% perfect.
I've dropped the Cc: stable, bug forgot to adjust the commit message.

So this patch isn't for stable any more, sorry for wasting your time.

Yours, Daniel
