I had forgotten that the first part of the fix for PR19870
had a fallout that was reported in PR21844 and fixed by Tom.
If I also apply the fix for PR21844, I get a clean testsuite
run (provided jacks.xfail is updated as indicated in the
consolidated patch from Matthias) and the testcases for
these PRs also pass.
I have updated PR24018 with this information.
Thanks once again to Matthias,
Ranjit.
