Hi Paul.  Thanks for the report, and sorry for the shameful delay.

I've applied this fix in your name.

However, for the future, might I ask you to provide complete patches, even
for trivial fixlets like this one?  That would make the workflow easier for
me.  Granted, not a big deal in this case, but little annoyances tend to
pile up in the long term, potentially becoming relevant in the end, so it's
better if we can avoid them up-front.

Thanks,
  Stefano
