Thanks for working on this! I haven't looked at the code yet, but have
some questions related with the issue discussed at [1].

Your patch already aims to fix the issue? On [2] I implemented a TAP
test that reproduce the issue and I tried to execute using your patch
and I still see the error. I'm attaching the TAP test isolated and maybe
we could incorporate into your patch series to ensure that the issue is
fixed? What do you think?
