BTW, I suspect that commit 597e1eb4fe7b2674c2d5233f215217f7b35e4035 is what
fixed this problem. Given that this was done on Sept. 13, you need to run
something later than that to pick up the fix (or cherry pick the patch and
apply it to your version, but I wouldn't recommend this course of action).
The recommendation stands: upgrade!
