Thanks for this patch.  I have applied it.  I included your
explanation of the bug in the commit message.

That seems to be an empty commit, which seems to have been
incorporated due to some kind of vcs glitch.  The actual code change
is in the earlier commit 04f92904ea6c41517ff7154910c16ef4c3bc646b
which has an identical commit message.
