I just had the same problem.
As this is such a trivial fix, and can potentially be such a pain,
please implement the patch in the original bug report (I was planning on
submitting something just like it when I saw this was already here for
almost a year already).

Bumping the severity to "normal", as I don't really consider this
"minor" (although the fix is).

Thanks,
