Almost certainly didn't get reported by me.

It was _soo_ obviously a kludge I thought it would be obvious that it
was necessary for someone ;-) (that's the kind of thinking I sometimes
fall into when in a hurry). I was in the middle of putting out a
release, and found this on only one platform IIRC. I don't remember
which one, but it was definitely SUSE. Probably SUSE 10.0 or 10.1. I'm
guessing SUSE 10.0. Probably could tell by the date I made the change.
