Ah, and again thanks for the report and follow up collaboration on
having these things sorted out, I'm sorry for not having this fixed
sooner, I'm taking notes to automate this type of test and have it done
before pushing branches publicly.

I just found it strange that when trying to reproduce this the problem
didn't manifested itself reliably, but then, ENOTIME to root cause this
so far, this (partial) revert is the best thing we can do now, so lets
go with it.
