OK, thanks for the reply. The original report seems lost (the bug
report at https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=976 starts with
your response, in fact). But given what you've already provided, it
seems that someone familiar with filesets can reproduce and test your
fix. We'll leave the bug open until someone gets to it.
