Note, there was a major conflict with the merge. I need to examine if it
was done correctly. I'm not saying that the bug was caused by the
conflict, it could be because of the change the patch made.

Let me look at the conflict first to verify that it still does what was
intended, then if that looks fine, I'll look into this bug too.

Thanks,
