thanks! Can you please write a commit that explains better the
fix you are doing?

no, not really, but nevermind, on a second look, what I'm
suggesting doesn't make much sense.

If you want, please reword the commit message as reply to this

Please, also consider adding the Fixes tag if you see it
necessary; I think you should, but it's borderline.
