Comment 26 for bug 87947

@drdabbles: It is sounds easier for me to use export instead of replacing a string in a binary file. You don't have to use export from the CLI every time. Just put it into your .bashrc or add the variable to /etc/environment.
I guess sloppy locking refers to some locking method, and not to sloppy code.

Also please note the status of this bug: "Fix Committed". Probably with the next update the workaround will be unnecessary.
