To get this thoroughly tested, I have applied it to my next branch, for now.

If it turns out that there are no regressions being reported, I think
we should move the patch to the fixes branch (to get it included for
v5.18) and then also tag it for stable. So, I will get back to this in
a couple of weeks.

Thanks and kind regards
Uffe
