Thanks for your reply, I recently become the new maintainer and am 
reviewing all open bugs.

This bug report even if is near 14 years old and the proposed 
modification did not seem optimal to me it still seemed good to ask to 
be sure if the problem persisted.

Since the proposed option has been dropped and the problem is no longer 
relevant, I close the bug.
