I didn't understand that this change fixes the problem, the last
message still indicated the patch didn't resolve it.  Did you continue
discussing off-list or something?  If not, how do you know the fix is
complete?

If this patch indeed fixes the problem, it's okay for emacs-26, but
please only add that one line, don't reindent anything and don't
replace lambda with its fancier equivalent.  Just the minimal required
change.

Thanks.
