After Diego's comments, it didn't sound like it was still important to
fix it.

Does the patch in Comment #6 still apply?  It looks like to me as if it
would (at least in principle; the code affected still looks the same).
If so, it's OK to apply to mainline, assuming test results go OK.  Would
you like to test it?

If that fix will also fix PR 23777, then the same fix is also OK for
4.2.  If not, then is there any compelling reason to apply it to 4.2?

Thanks,
