Yes, we could certainly do that. The aim of my patch was really just to
get back to where we were before, to fix the immediate issue. This of
course doesn't mean we can't improve things further.

I'll let Peter/Arnout/Yann decide what they want to do (i.e apply my
patch as-is, or have a more elaborate version).

Thanks!
