The fix looks good to me. If you want to create a proper patch (as
described in CONTRIBUTE) I’ll happily push it to the repository for
you.

Any help with the NS port would be greatly appreciated. We do keep
compatibility with GNUstep, but most NS port development happens on
macOS, so silly mistakes in GNUstep code, like this one, tend to be
overlooked for a while.

Even raising bug reports for GNUstep would be a plus, since we seem to
have almost no users, and the only people who notice problems are
Emacs devs doing test builds.
