I'm forwarding this to p5p since I originally didn't plan to write a patch to fix the problem, but then I decided to write one, and I wasn't sure whether to file a new ticket or not for the patch, (I changed the title though of this ticket) and I don't want this ticket now having a patch attached to get lost.
