Sorry Mike. This is just a coincidence.
In fact it was Paul Needle from Red Hat, who reported the issue on 11-JUL.
You did exactly the same on 17-JUL, but I read your bug report few days
after releasing the patch.

Even if the changes made are almost identical, the patch was really
created by me from scratch. There is simply no other easy solution
for the problem.

If you want credits, then take them. I have different
