Hmm. The 12.2 and 13.0 code is the same w.r.t. The only difference I can think of
is that 13.0 has 4.2 in it and Linux tends to use the newest version supported by the server.

thanks for doing the testing, although it would have been more fun to crash the Linux systems.;-)

The code hasn't changed in a long time, so it should drop in without difficulty, but it also
probably doesn't need testing.

ps: I've already committed it to current/main.
