Okay sir, my reading of your other mail was that you caught this issue
by code inspection and not by hitting the issue in practice, seems
there was a communication gap. Now i am deducing from your mails you
actually have hit some issue because of my change, then your fix is
absolutely required, no question about it.

i was trying to find out the specific scenario where the issue would
be be hit because of my change. But since you are able to fix the
issue in your specific scenario w/ with this fix, no more questions
from my side. Some of my comments are made jokingly to keep the
spirits high, but at times it is being misread it seems.
