Well, yes, I do not really like this patch ;) Because I think there is
a more simple/straightforward fix, see below. In my opinion it also
makes the original code simpler.

But. Obviously this is subjective, I can't prove my patch is "better",
and I didn't try to test it.

So I won't argue with Konstantin who dislikes my patch, although I
would like to know the reason.
