How did you test this?  I ask as it is obviously not correct.  Please
always test your patches before submitting them as adding new bugs when
claiming that you are fixing a problem is not good.

And how did you find this potential problem?  What tool did you use and
why did you not follow the documentation for properly describing the
tool?
