It happens to us fairly regularly and causes lots of problems. However,
I'm agreeable to putting it in head for now, my client can build from
source to pick up this patch until that ships, but doesn't want to maintain
their own fork forever. That said, if it does get though beta I'd hope we
could back-patch at that time.
