Ok that sounds like one bug killed ;-), so I guess this should go in for 
2.4.19-rc2 ...

Marcelo, please apply (patch is against 2.4.19-rc1). I know that Alan 
and Dave have also similar parts in their trees and they are likely to 
suffer the same problem.
Thanks Knut for pointing the problem (although it was present in 
2.4.19-pre10-ac2 already for sure...)

Best regards
Nicolas.
