The part of the lively discussion in which I participated exclusively
focused on the failed CI runs and trying to get to the bottom of this bug.

Taylor contributed <cover.1660944574.git.me@xxxxxxxxxxxx> to address the
bug. While he seems grateful for my help, I am honestly puzzled because I
lack too much knowledge about the code to have been of assistance in any
meaningful way.

My participation in this thread should not be mistaken for a review: I am
woefully unfamiliar with the bitmap design (let alone code) and would
therefore not _dare_ to offer anything that I would claim is a code
review.

Ciao,
Dscho
