Your patch works here, too. Thanks!

I'd appreciate if you could publish it soon since it has a few
conflicts with my current "don't trust symlinks" work.

I think this bugfix should go to 'maint' and in 'master'.  I
tried to be careful, but extra sets of eyeballs to double-check
that I did not break anything are certainly appreciated.
