This description is still too sparse for me. How was it computed before
and why was this incorrect? Pretend like you are trying to explain your
patch to someone who has no idea what you did.

Tell me if I understand this correctly.

Before it read the handle and incremented it.

y = x + 1

Now it reads the handle, increments it, then decrements it.

y = (x + 1) - 1 = x
