I will take a look at the patches. Additional question, as you have been 
looking into this area. We have plenty of code which is only called 
under the `if (kms)` condition. Could you hopefully move these parts to 
separate functions, so that the error handling is also simpler? If not, 
I'll put this to my todo list, but it might take some time before I have 
time for that.
