Please point your llm at the docs to show how to create a real patch
(hint you need a changelog and it can't be attached.)

Also please test your patch so that you know it actually fixes the issue
you are reporting.  Remember a huge % of llm-found bugs are actually not
bugs at all, you need to make a patch (which you did here, so that cuts
the odds down to 50%) and then test it (which cuts down the number even
more.)

thanks,

greg k-h
