I have no idea what's going on with this stuff without spending more time than it looks like should need, there's a moderately big thread and some patches posted in the middle of it. Can you repost whatever the current state is please?
The discussion was about introducing a temporary variable to simplify the code. But that makes a lot of changes, so I think it would be better to just apply the original bug fixing patch as is, and then the cleanup could be applied on top of that. I will submit the original patch again.
