Sorry that I couldn't get deeper into this issue. Thanks for reminding
though.

I have tested various scenarios with only patch 2/3, which seems to be
sufficient for the time being. I have not encountered the older issue
till now. I was thinking of testing a bit further, but given that you
have already asked for, we can go ahead with only patch 2/3 right now.

In case any further issue comes up, I will post patch 1/3 as per the
review comments that I have got.
