Thanks! Yeah, in retrospect, these 2 patches should really have been squashed together. Sorry about that. Note that none of these were marked for stable though. I think that Sasha's bot picked-up automatically 17b49bcbf8351d3dbe57204468ac34f033ed60bc for stable because of the "Fix" in the commit title. But c749301ebee82eb5e97dec14b6ab31a4aabe37a6 also has "Fix" in its title but was not picked-up. Weird. Greg, Martin, To fix this, c749301ebee82eb5e97dec14b6ab31a4aabe37a6 is needed in stable !
