This is a regression introduced with fix from CVE-2015-7547. It has been
fixed in stretch/sid already. For jessie, it has been fixed in version
2.19-18+deb8u5, which is currently in jessie-proposed-updates and will
be released with the next jessie point release.
Merging the bug with the existing one.
