Comment 4 for bug 1414197

I apologize for the bad timing, but we have a locally developed fix for the issues mentioned here. Given the pieces in place, the implementation is quite simple. I will make sure it is clean from any other local customizations and post a branch today.

(Our library has been without a full-time serials person for around 18 months, but a new person will finally start in two weeks, so we are investing time in serials again.)
