I did not see this reply on the mailing list, perhaps you are not a list
subscriber and the message still needs to be approved... This should get
through...

My patch is not in 3.08-pre6, but without other reports of the problem
and the success of my fix, it's probably a low priority.

I'm pretty much finished with any further changes to the patch.  I
learned a lot about the code by poking around the changed bits, but I
don't even partially grok the code, so I don't know of anything further
I
can (or should) do.

Don't worry, I'll add it.  3.08-pre6 was something I had to get out in a
hurry, because one of my own hosts depended on it.
