Also, your tool is wrong, this is not a correct fix at all.

How did you test it?  Why is your tool spitting out incorrect code?  Why
are you not verifying it's output before asking others to do so?

Please don't do this anymore, it's wasteful on our side, right?  Please
take the time to review existing changes for problems, that would be
more useful overall to everyone.

thanks,
