Dear Maintainer,

Since the cherry-pick of upstream commit b85feb999c505222d4815638344c8883d5e4ab58
introduced a bug, which has been fixed in upstream [1].

Please consider also cherry picking this fix.

Best,
Antonio Russo

Looking at this again, I think I bungled the fix :(.  It should probably be:

	static const ul_excl_t excl[] = {	/* rows and cols in ASCII order */
		{ 'c', 'd', 'p', 'z' },
		{ 'c', 'n' },
		{ 'c', 'd', 'p', 'x', 'z'},
		{ 'i', 'p'},
		{ 'n', 'p'},
		{ 0 }
	};

if I'm reading the documentation correctly.  The commit message of
b85feb999c505222d4815638344c8883d5e4ab58 would probably do well in the
documentation of --posix.
