I have replaced the original patch for this problem with a much simpler 
patch.  The actual patch can be found in bugzilla 
http://bugzilla.ganglia.info/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=188 .  I have 
also changed the backport proposal in the 3.1 STATUS file.  If somebody could 
review this patch and vote on the backport, it would be greatly appreciated.
