This is one of those guess-what-I'm-thinking commit messages. Can you
please write it this way:

The situation currently is A, the bug is B, I'm fixing it by doing C.

Don't be afraid to be more verbose.

An innocent bystander can only guess why the change was done and I'm
willing to bet good money that a couple of years from now, not even you
will know why you did it.

Thanks.
