Pushed to master (6e1054a40bf6df1429a2b16fdd0d7652dae4d537).

Two points, neither really relevant I don't suppose.

I could have sworn we already had at least one, and possibly more, bug

And I find it hard to believe we actually have to set this, surely
it's the default? I'm rather sceptical of the original change.
