Ok, so it's now "tested" in the sense that it works for me, and fixes
both my and your test-cases.
Which doesn't mean that it is bug-free of course, but it does seem to
be a sane patch that actually cleans things up.
I'll delay committing it in case somebody hollers, but I think I'll
mark it for stable too since this issue seems age-old, and the fix
looks good.
Ack/nak? Can anybody find anything wrong in that patch?
