It is a good idea to add a changelog here to indicate what was changed
since the last patch revision. It'll be easier for the reviewer to spot
the differences.

It's also a good idea to add Cc: line for somebody who provided
previous review, this will, too, allow spotting the patch quicker.

This hunk should be separate bugfix patch, but other than that the
patch looks OK to me.

I'll let Chris comment if he feels previous comments were adequately
addressed.
