 OK, I'll contact the persons you mention.

 Then I'm 100% sure that PRs # 6680, 6766, 7509, 7626, 7747, 7777, 8452, 6796
 are duplicates of the same bug. The six other PRs I mention in my mail
 might be related to the same issue, but that's unclear.
 
 So this makes for 8 PRs that you can collapse into a single one ! None
 of them is significantly more accurate than the others, so picking a
 random one would do. Perhaps the one PR that you keep should include a
 reference to the ones that have been closed.
