Well, it's a risk-reward tradeoff. In this case it seems like there's
a nontrivial risk of creating new bugs against fixing a problem that
evidently affects very few people. I concur with Bruce's feeling that
we shouldn't backpatch ... at least not now. Once the patch has been
through beta testing we could reconsider.
