Well, to be honest, the "workaround" post from me was more intended as
showing a code area where a proper fix may be implemented (because I
already looked around for the cause and related code) rather than as a
serious workaround.  Sort-of half-joke and half info for someone looking
at the problem at some later point of time.

But, well, serves me right.
