Fwiw this patch has been in "Ready for Committer" state since April and has been moved forward three times including missing the release. It's a pretty short patch and fixes a problem that caused an outage for $previous_employer and I've had private discussions from other people who have been struggling with the same issue. Personally I consider it pretty close to a bug fix and worth backpatching. I think it's pretty annoying to have put out a release without this fix. -- greg
