The person reporting the bug says that Pip's patch fixes the problem.
There was some discussion about what the original code from the 90s was
trying to fix, and the answer was... that we don't know.
So I just went ahead and applied the patch. I tried it here, and it
didn't break anything, but there are many systems out there. But I
think it's worth a try, so I'm pushing it to Emacs 28. If it breaks
anything, we should revert it.
