Fix for kern/161123 has been committed to stable/8! You reminded me, and I promptly did merge, w/o any argument, albeit I have no ability to test it properly on stable/8. I trust you, that you have tested in on stable/8, but if anything breaks, guess who would be blamed: me or you? -- Totus tuus, Glebius.
