Thanks, I committed this fix to all three branches.

Could I suggest in future that this sort of thing be sent into the
bugs database via send-pr? I only get to the hackers mailing list
if I have time, and if I get too far behind, I'll just delete anything
older than a few days to catch up. So there is no guarantees that
I'll see it except via gnats - which I do read scrupulously.

Regards,
David
