OK, so instead of fixing the patch which introduced a bug, we're supposed to
be fixing the fallout from that. I cannot say I'm very happy with this sort
of handling of a bug and with the testing this particular change received.

Besides, seeing how this patch already needed another patch to make it complete 
and how it now needs more patches to fix the boards which it broke, I am really 
disappointed.
