FWIW I've resubmitted that patch yesterday with just what you are
describing here (but I've used 256 for the headroom size). I've tested
it against my use case and it seems to be working - so approach works.
You guy obviously can make better or pore appropriate change if you so
desire :).

Thanks for looking into this!
