I was being too vague here. You made what looks like a reasonable
change but it is to a low-level function which is called by more than
one place. I was hoping that, since you wanted to see this fixed, you
might also be willing to make sure that your change doesn't break
anything else. But, I didn't say that so, my bad.
I've checked in a modified version of your patch along with a ChangeLog.
Thanks.
