Oops, debian still has a few surprises in her sleeves... thanks for 
heads-up!

Thanks. This is actually messier than it should be. A bad mentors build 
host + some misunderstandings between me and Gianfranco boiled down to 
that although the changelog in the -6  release mentions your patch it 
was actually not included.

Anyway, a new -7 update is already under way, this time With Patch 
Included (tm)

Makes sense. And for me as upstream I have the overall feeling that 
compiling on other architectures sometimes reveals otherwise unnoticed 
bugs. So, thanks for your input.

I have also patched upstream according to 
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/520046/83574167, more or less your 
patch. Actually, it is your patch, it's your name on it :)

Cheers!
