Are there any test cases to get this bug to fire? I haven't had any
problems with this particular bug so I can apply this patch, but I
can't promise that my use of the patch will result in anything useful
other than, "nothing's broke yet" since I haven't had any real
problems with 7.3.2 other than the deferred trigger speed. Off hand,
I don't see why this patch would cause any problems if it were
applied. -sc
