That sounds like a good plan then. Once there’s a new version we can
bump that on our side to remove the manual patch then.

Ah, that’s a very good point. I think that would also have been a valid
approach but it does indeed add more allocations. If that approach would
be preferred, I think it can also be changed to that?
I don’t really have a strong preference on which approach to take here,
do you?

Nope, looks like some platform behavior changes (tried on MacOS first).
I was able to get the tests running and working on Debian Buster this
morning before I sent a new version of the patch and they are all passing
there for me locally.
Cheers,
Dirkjan
