Correct, but this was how I found the issue and motivation for
backporting the fixes including yours which was not marked for stable.

I'm not saying it's buggy, I'm explaining that the identified issue was

I sent a fix for the same issues you addressed and Viresh let me know
that he had already merged a fix for most of the issues:

Fair enough, I could have used dependency notation for this one.

Let me do that in v3.
