Comment 37 for bug 980017

Last week I spent nearly an entire day bisecting for the fix so that the patch could be cherry-picked into the Ubuntu tree. Unfortunately, it looks like no one ever followed up on this work. This is mildly annoying considering the work put in to the solve this very severe issue. Sadly, it seems that the 12.04 upgrade will be a complete mess for a large portion of the user base due to this bug.
