I've tried to patch this in-place, first by recompiling the affected
custom files, then by removing all the .elc files.  I failed, somehow
this eval never changes to include the delq nil introduced with the
patch and I can't seem to find the code path that it takes to get to the
non-changed version.  I can't recompile Emacs on Windows.

Regards,
Achim.
