Ok, I removed this part from the patch... did you test the above
regardless of the failed hunk? If not, please do.

Lack of a small test which exhibits it and no intent on my side to
break the law by acquiring a copy of a commercial game from you makes
this way of handling it necessary. I also don't have a -stable system
on which I can test this.

And investigating bugs to some extend is the users responsibility. You
(as a developer) can not reproduce everything in an open source project
yourself, so you need feedback from users which cooperate.

Bye,
Alexander.
