Hello.
Referring to the discussion related to the upcoming release, I
confirm defect #64837 on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) and I confirm
that the last patch in #54412 (the one attached in the defect in
Message#14 - https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=54412#14,
not the one inlined) fixes the issue.
I'm also attaching a "double-safe" version, with a simple try-except
added, falling back to the old default, just in case. Also tested,
also fixes the issue.
You can apply whichever you choose.
