Sorry about that, Marco — but the other committers' reported that the patch was 
invalid, and you agreed (comment #9).  So I started from scratch when I 
realized the bug was definitely not fixed.  I'd much have preferred just taking 
your patch.

What would have helped here is an explanation of why the errant behaviour 
happens and how your patch solved the problem.  It proves you understand the 
scope of the problem and helps convince that the solution is the right one.

I know that shepherding patches is a pain.  Please keep going!

Brian.
