I think those changes are good to go and fundamentally unrelated to
the discussion (except to the extent that they were found while
investigating that part of the code).

Of course, they may not be the final word, but I'd rather install those
now so they don't get lost if the rest of the discussion ends up not
going anywhere and also so the rest of the discussion doesn't need to be
using patches relative to code that's not in `master`.
