Thanks for the patch, you have already provided...

I have never seen such error and I don't have any idea currently what might
be its source.

That's it is not definitely right way to do, but might work...

Yes, this is not probably the issue here..

Yes, this is perfect place :-)

Let me try in RHEL 7 first and I will then let you know...
