Please check your emails.

The bug was reported by many other people, and you got a whole thread
of from me and others about this issue long before the report from
John.

Harald reported this on Monday, and I cc'd you back then:

and I've already applied the patch exactly *because* you didn't
respond to that much earlier thread.
