Thanks. I almost accepted the old patch with the error. Maybe in the
future consider including a test case with the patch.
I don't want to make testcases a prerequisite for bug fixes because
that leads to bugs going unfixed for a long time, but perhaps for
obscure issues like this unlikely to be hit in real-world use, it
would be good to strongly encourage submission of test cases with
patches.
