b56a39ac conflicts and is replaced with that patch.
4a77a5a0 should stay, as it fixes an actual problem, even with the old
code, I think.

> Kay, do you agree?

Yes, seems, we need to restore the old behaviour, even when it's worse

right, but it's history done long ago, and we an not change that.

Thanks,
