Thank you and sorry for the nuisance.

I will probably post a slightly different version similar to the one I
sent in the reply to Peter and if you have time then I would appreciate
a tested-by on that final to be polished version.

Btw, I'm really curious how you deduced the reproducer from systemd
code. I assume you figured somehow out which program triggered the
behaviour and then inspected the source to find something fishy. Can you
provide a pointer to the code in question? If they really do what your
reproducer does, then this code needs to be fixed too :)

Thanks,
