Fixed by commit 0caac4a2, thanks.

I can. Applied your fix in 896fdaa.

I've raised it to 0.25% instead (f5558ad), so that we can detect
a bump from 0.15% to 0.49% in the future.

So I think you should now be happy to merge this branch :)

I've closed it right away, since we're going to use the devel branch
to run the automated test suite when releasing 0.23.
