Nice.

ruby-vips maintainers, can we get a fix for this? It's blocking the imagemagick 
transition, which is blocking the php one. I'll probably upload the fix to 
DELAYED/2, but let me know if I should delay it longer or upload without delay, 
or if you can just push the fix then all the better.

fwiw I'd prefer a minimal fix and not an update to 2.2.2, that can happen after 
this fix is in testing though.

Thanks,
Emilio
