This is just changing the variable name and makes no functional change
at all, and therefore is gratuitous.

Please only include pure functional changes that fix the bug(s) in
question.

If there are multiple bugs, please fix one bug per patch and include a
detailed explanation of each bug fix in the body of the commit
message.

Thank you.
