Heh, Sashiko AI makes things interesting. It found some real problems
which I just commented.

I have the fixes mostly ready. I wonder whether you would prefer that
I send v7 or you have already started review of v6.

I do not have strong opinion. The changes are rather simple. But the
code is not trivial so that even small changes have surprising effects.
