No, I just wrote it today based on the stack traces you sent. I'm
pretty sure that the patch is correct, but unfortunately it's tough to
be certain it'll fix the problem you reported.

If you don't have a way to test it, I'll probably just go ahead and
send it to Steve later this week once I've given it some smoke testing.
We'll just have to hope for the best in that case.
