Sorry for the delay. The massive switch to WFH and illness concerns at home
interfered. All are fine, and I actually do get work done occasionally.

I've got the following patch to make. I assume it needs to be made to the
emacs-27 branch and corresponding patches made to master as well. If I
should only commit to master (same change is needed there) for cherry-picking
for emacs-27, let me know.
