It is probably too late today (now I have a Debian based VM that can do
the selftests), but with this bug fix I have 1) not submitted bug fixes
before and 2) it probably needs an appropriate explanation, where I
don't know the problem well enough for general switchcores to submit
with a suitable text.

Do you want me to try to submit this change as a bug fix?
