Looks plausible, so feel free to put my ack on it if it also helps

I agree, but the code you touch here hasn't been changed for
years (and even the involved helper functions changed only
marginally between 4.1 and 4.2), so wouldn't that have been
a problem for much longer? In which case it ought to also go
into 4.1?
