You know what, in my ignorance I think I do remember this, but it was probably in a dream, but was it my dream? Is the person having the dream enjoying it[*]? ;)

Actually, for years I've taken for granted that it I wait a few days the bugfix will be in the nightly eventually. I have never really asked (or tried to find out) what the references within the jobs for these types of references are. I have joined NetCAT and must deal find out as to verify ASAP where possible.

The issue I have in question is [1] which the last comment has the fix reference as web-main 1be7d42cb940.
