That function *is* broken in 21.4.21.  It obviously was not tested at
all before being committed, because it doesn't do squat.  I also
question why it was added to the 21.4 series;  it's new functionality,
not a bug fix.  In any case, see the threads starting here for a
diagnosis and fix:

On a reread, the above sounds hostile.  I don't mean it that way.
Here, maybe this will help ---> :-)
