Thanks for the bug report.  Yet, as a matter of procedure (and saving my
time), I'd appreciate a complete bug report, as I had requested:

Would you provide that, please?  I'd help to ensure that whatever fix I
may get into the next revision of the patch will address the issue the

Thanks again,

P.S. The non-over-quoting comment from my previous posting (a reply to

queue (the quoting only) prior to approving it.
