Hi all,

We could alter this to the original commit (before the error paths were
introduced), at 583be982d9347, but would also need to pull d51705614f66
as a prereq, or fix the conflicts with earlier stable backports.

This sounds sensible to me, but is a fairly unlikely error path in
general.

Cheers,


Jeremy
