• Brief description of the changes in this pull request:

@rear/contributors
could anyone have another look to be more on the safe side
against possibly unexpected regressions in ReaR's default behaviour.

@jsmeix I'm fine with the update.

@rmetrich
as always many thanks for your various testing how ReaR behaves
even in special environments and for your adaptions and enhancements
that make ReaR behave better out of the box even for special cases!
