@Ingo, can you drop this patch for now? It's supposed to be 
"!get_pat_info" here, and I want to re-verify now that a couple of 
months passed, whether it's all working as expected with that.

(we could actually complain if get_pat_info() would fail at this point, 
let me think about that)

I'll resend once I get to it. Thanks!
