It seems this is unfortunately also broken in 2.1.17.

If possible could you also provide a fix for the 2.1.x tree, as we are
still happily running your code from that era. Your fix for 2.2 does
sadly not apply without modifications and I don't want to destroy things
with incompetent attempts to do production grade C coding ;-)



With regards from Cologne,


Christian
