[Benno Schulenberg]

Thanks for reporting the bug.  (But you should have started a new
thread, a new message, not simply answer to an unrelated one.)

A link to the context is right there in the commit message:
"This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55620.";

Indeed.  The bug has already been reported by David Ramsey:
  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55680

And I've uploaded a patch for it:
  https://savannah.gnu.org/support/download.php?file_id=46219

If you could test that patch and report your findings...
