As this is the first time I was touching this code, I was trying to keep
the changes minimal, but I definitely prefer to rewrite the function as
you suggest.

Should I send a v3, or do you want to send a patch yourself? I don't
really mind either, just want to get this fixed ASAP :-)

Thanks Max,
Sergio.
