Commit 53e587aa5ca81497d0ea6e340320ec5778d1f311 is a modified version of the
commit in upstream master, as Ben's comment in the commit message indicates.
Master has been changed considerably since then, and the upstream commit no
longer applies as-is to stable v3.2. The stable v3.2 is *only* changed by
backports of important fixes from master. Unfortunately, this "fix" added in
3.2.45 breaks things for you.

patch -R option *reverses* the patch, removing the code that was added by that
commit, fixing things for you. On a git tree, this is similar to git revert
53e587aa5ca81497d0ea6e340320ec5778d1f311.

I presume the commit will be reverted in stable v3.2.46, which will be
eventually picked up by distros, and get updated to users.

HTH.
