I noticed your patch and I also reopened the bug report.

Yes, the -22 was just serious but trivial fixes and your patch was
left to -23. I contacted Leando and he's going to check your proposed
patch to try to avoid regressions and I plan to upload a -23 revision
this week.

Your proposed patch looks OK but we want to try to avoid regressions
so near of release. I'll just wait for Leandro ack on the patch to
upload it.
