So this is actually a functional change: In the old code, unspecified channel
numbers (num ... vm_num) were filled with incremental channel numbers.
This is no longer the case.

The relevant difference (and maybe bug in the existing code ?) seems to be
this change. Have you considered leaving everything else in place and only
changing this code as well as the num -> vm_num changes below ?
