Thanks for the analysis and solution.  I've applied your diff, and added
a testcase.  Attached is the patch I intend to push shortly (I'll give a
couple of days for reviews and objections).  Also, I have a minor question:
Zack, are you the same "Zack Weinberg" already listed in the THANKS file
with the address "zack@codesourcery.com"?  If yes, should I update that
address?

Regards,
  Stefano
