Nicolas, thanks for the patch! However, what is needed is a patch against HEAD. Unfortunately that may be a little work (due to bug 33451 and other code modernization efforts).
When you have an updated patch, please ask review by setting the review? and superreview? flags on the patch, filling in the e-mail of a suitable reviewer and superreviewer after the flag.
