Set *status here too? I assume we need valid *status whenever NULL is returned.

You are absolutely correct.

But I ended up deciding not to add "gently" variant for now, as nobody

earlier checks in the function if they should give diagnosis. Please check
what is queued near the tip of tonight's 'pu'.

Thanks.
