Hi Dan,

I understand that the problems are related, but there are several of them.
Could they be handled in separate patches (applied in a specific order) ?
I suspect this would aid backporting, and, moreover, I think it is nice
to try to work on a one-fix-per-patch basis.

The above notwithstanding, I do agree with the correctness of your changes.
