That's a very useful point of reference. Thank you for providing it.

Python 2.7), or is that in limbo right now anyway? Alternately, is there
any way to decouple this ticket from that one?
Technically you can apply #11339 without python 2.7 - the behavior we want
to correct is only revealed when we use python 2.7 but I guess it would be
useful to know if there are any side effects if you apply the patch on a
python 2.6 install. Bear in mind that the current patch are not
necessarily the best solution to the problem, what's more they are a whack
a mole game. Fix something here and some new fault appears in a completely
unexpected location.
