How many times do I have to say this: IT IS NOT A REFACTOR PATCH AS
REPORTED BY THE AUTHOR, AND PETER HAS NOT REFUTED THAT.

It fixes a bug reported by the author, and Peter's inability to reply to
the comments the author made is exactly the behavior I am talking about.
If Peter does not want to engage in a technical discussion about the
patch, I don't think we can consider his opinion valid.

Seems I will have to call for a vote on this patch.
