Sorry to everyone involved, I've just sent the merge request - I wasn't
much at computer in the past few weeks so wanted to wait until I got
back home to send it just in case, as I didn't realize this was a recent
regression that caused actual harm (it sounded like an old warning that
someone just recently happened to hit, and sounded easy enough to work
around locally if there is only one specific setup involved); I should
have sent the fix separately or at least corrected myself about the
schedule.

(that might have been nice to have as a Fixes tag for eventual backport,
but at least that commit doesn't appear to have been picked up by stable
so it's probably fine as is)


Thanks,
