Thanks Aristotle, and sorry for the delay in responding.

There were some updates to the fix later, so I'm picking those from the
maint-5.40 branch as well. I'll try to get this in Debian trixie (the
upcoming, currently frozen release) first, and look at updating 5.36
in bookworm (the current stable release) later.
