I've ping'd Gerd last week about it, but he couldn't remember the
details of why that patch was warranted in the first place.

If it works, I'd prefer to revert the original patch that we know used
to work instead of coming up with some less proven logic, which seems to
be quite different to what it used to be.

Alex, could you try reverting 5a838e5d5825c85556011478abde708251cc0776
and letting us know the result?

Thanks!
Maxime
