Admittedly this is the shortest possible fix. I also had a rework closer
to your version, which also avoided copying the arguments in some cases,
but I thought a smaller diff would be more suitable, since this is
actually a fix.

Shall I add a comment here or post my version of the fix instead?

Cheers,
Andre.
