There's not much point in creating a different function (or else it 
would have to come with its own set of global variables, and hence will 
require to duplicated some more code as well). Anyway, this is 
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=22983, where the ball is in 
Alan's court.

So far, it looks trivial to fix, code-wise.
