Thanks for the patch, Dmitry. I've just pushed this.

And thanks as well for the test case. I actually pushed the test-case
commit before the bug-fix commit. I like to do things in that order so
that I can:

	1. Apply the new test case
	2. Run "make test" and see the failure
	3. Apply the bug fix
	4. Run "make test" and see the test pass

With a sequence like that, it's very easy for me to feel very
comfortable committing the code.
