Thank you for the kind answer, Gow!  I was thinking this would be treated as a
fix, and hence merged into the mainline before next merge window.  I'm actually
getting my personal test suite failures due to absence of this fix.  It's not a
critical problem, but it would definitely better for me if this could be merged
into the mainline as early as possible.


Thanks,
SJ
