Dear Przemyslaw,



Thank you for your patch.

It’d be great if you added the documentation name.

(I’d add a blank line between paragraphs.)

Also, I always like to see pastes from the commands you ran to reproduce 
this. It’s always good for comparison.

Any idea, where the wrong values came from? Will your test be added to 
the test procedure?
