Thanks for the report, Matt, and thanks for the fix, Scott.  As we're
currently working on backporting V3 to stretch, I've got no immediate
plans to do a stable update for this.  However, I'm somewhat confused
about the fix: [1] says it's a "one character fix", but d2e6d712 is a
little more elaborate.  How do these fit together?
