 The patch has now been tested on one 3.4-RELEASE machine and (by
 tege@swox.se) on two different 3.3-RELEASE machines. The patch seems
 to fix the problem and we suggest that the fix is incorporated on the
 stable branch and that pr/16568 be closed.
 
 To all involved parties, thanks a lot for all the good work that you
 spent to resolve this issue, THANKS!
 
 Keep up the good work,
 Björn
