Hello again Louis.

Agreed that the fix I suggested last time didn’t work. I actually discovered it didn’t fully fix the issue I was trying to fix as well.

However, I have now submitted a new patch which correctly fixes the issue I was solving. 

I took the time to reproduce your issue outlined in your original post. I managed to reproduce it and then resolve it with this new patch.

The patch I submit has changes to his.c (relevant to your issue) and to mov.c (not relevant to your issue).
