Thanks, both, for finding a rather unfortunate regression. Perhaps
it is worth delaying 2.44 final by a week or so to include a fix (or
a revert if it comes to it).
Hmm, I had thought this was pre-2.44, but it was actually in the 2.43.x
maintenance series (so it is not a regression going from 2.43.2 to
2.44.0, but it is from 2.43.0 to 2.44.0).
I've been trying to be a bit aggressive this cycle to merge various
clean-up topics, together with real bugfixes, to 'maint'. Those who
often skip the -rcX but diligently follow numbered releases found a
few potential regressions in 2.44-rc as a result, which I could say
is a great success ;-). In addition, I was planning to have only
one -rc release without going -rc2 before the final, but we may need
one if only for this fix.
The fix in the patch looks quite straight-forward. Thanks.
