TBH, I hadn't considered that possibility :). I assumed it was a
regression on our side. But I spent some time tracing the history of that
struct all the way back to when it was in staging (in 2009) and now I'm
inclined to believe a later version of TLFS is at fault here.
Based on what we decide in this thread, I will open an issue on the TLFS
GitHub repository.
