Hi Bryant,

A few things:

1) The commit message could probably be trimmed, especially the stack
traces.

2) What exactly are you changing and why does it fix the issue? I
couldn't figure that out from the commit message.

3) Does this need a Fixes: tag?

4) What does the above hunk do? It seems unrelated...

Regards,
Daniel
