Cool!

It looked like Avery Fisher had reported that had had tried patch
didn't help him, and so I had put it in the category of "good patch,
makes sense, but probably not the one that would solve this
regression".  But if it works for you, I'll accelerate getting it to
Linus.  Do let us know if you have any additional problems with this
patch, please!
