Ok, I did't realize its benifit. Thanks a lot.
Now I've fixed it based on your suggestion and it works. The failed
cases all passed. Now I'm running the generic/388 for many and many
times to make sure it doesn't fail again. I'll send the patch if the
generic/388 is passed.

Got it. Thank you very much!
