Exactly, that's why I asked.  I can revert to the working revision on my
system, no problem, but apparently the code was removed because of
problems elsewhere (KDE!?), without considering or noticing the effect
this had on systrace.  Simply putting it back in would probably continue
the "yoyo effect" we've already seen: Working, not working, working...
It would be good if this could be avoided.

I'll do a send-pr as soon as I've got some time.
