Absolutely. I didn't list it because it's not 9.3 specific. I think Tom
is working on a fix right now, if not, Heikki has showed interest and I
would also work on it once the CF has started. So I don't think there's
danger of missing that one.

There have been reports about it for years if you search in the archives
and the code around it hasn't changed for a fair bit of time, so I think
that's just coincidence.
