Vlad, please revert my last commit. It appears to be broken. I will
resubmit fixed patches for each backport OS individually after testing
and further review by Steve and Jon. Thanks.

I'm very sorry. I was rushing to get this into rc5 to fix bug 1596, and
I didn't think
the changes looked very drastic, as I basically just moved some stuff
around. Thus
I only build tested it. Jon I now understand your concern about fixing
this bug.

If it makes sense, revert my patch and re-release rc5. I'm working on a
fix right now.

Again, my apologies. This won't happen again.
