There was a longer conversation ("FATE Errors") with a number of
people, I'm not sure whether you followed.
I submitted this as a possible way to work around the issue. If you
find that patch acceptable, then I'll gladly adjust the commit message
with a detailed explanation.
It's just that I learned that it's not very effective to spend a lot
of time on things that are likely to get rejected or ignored.

Thanks for not ignoring (at least ;-)
