I've applied this anyway.

We'll see how big Al's proper fix ends up being, and depending on that
this one-liner might just be the right thing for stable anyway.

And if Al's patch ends up being small, simple and clean, this
one-liner won't matter, but it's not like there's any real downside to
it.
