Thanks for testing!

There was also a test patch, basically adding your reproducer to the
test suite. It would be good to know if that test still reproduces the
problem, before the fix is applied.  Tomi mentioned a more reduced test
set. That could reduce the privacy loss a bit, but as far as file size
these messages are pretty small, so I'm not sure if it's worth the
trouble/risk of breaking the reproducer.

I want to refactor the code a bit and hopefully cut down on the
copy-pasta, so I will probably ask you check a second version.
