Sorry for the extra work I have been putting on you this cycle. I trust you
understand it is for good reason.

It is unfortunate that I do not have hardware for most patches I sent. The
best I could do was staring at the patches until I think "yeah, that
probably isn't broken". That obviously isn't good enough to remove all
bugs. I wish that I could do better, but oh well...

Thanks Ammar as well, for helping me tracking down this bug.

I hope this one is the last regression report that we will see.
