The above commit won't work on the stable trees. Below is an updated version
that will work on v5.0.7, v4.19.34, v4.14.111, v4.9.168, and v4.4.178 with 
increasing offsets. I believe v3.18.138 will require more so that one is not 
included.

There is only a minor change to context, none of actual changes in the patch are
different.


Thanks,
Phil
