Thanks.  My patch was accepted upstream (the affected code is in
Source/GSTLS.m in newer releases), but I'd like to ask how urgent is
this fix.  I want to get rid of the old GNUstep libraries (release.d.o
#673538) and if possible, to delay fixing this bug until the GNUstep
transition begins (we are ready, currently waiting only for a sponsor
for a bunch of packages).

I would like to avoid further uploads of gnustep-base/1.22 as it is
going away.
