Progress on this issue seems to be stalled.  I have no reason to doubt
my fix may be problematic for use cases I haven't encountered, but I
don't know what these are, so I cannot reasonably investigate further.
If my patch is installed, those who encounter any problems due to it can
report them, which hopefully will facilitate finding a better fix.
Therefore, I request permission to install my patch.  If it causes
serious problems for which there is no quick fix, it can be reverted.
