Thanks a bunch. Since I'm just the 3rd guy hitting that, may be a little
addition to the backport set of patches is in order. I do not mind
generating it, but I am not sure of the correct procedure: the patches
are grouped by reason, but they could overlap (in that case it would)
should they be grouped by affected file instead ? Or is there a way to
specify in which order they should be applied ? Whoever maintains these
BP patches might have some recommendation to make.
