Makes sense. I don't think we should have such a comment, though.
The patch description states what it fixes and the patch fixes
exactly that. Moreover, I tagged this patch for stable (because of
the double free it fixes) and there might be no other commit. (I
think the error handling problem is not severe enough for stable. It
has been this way a couple of years and nobody seems to have
noticed.)
