I think Daniel has run into this problem more than anyone else, so
hearing it's fixed for him makes me feel a lot better that it's been
resolved. I'd characterize this problem as a medium grade data
corruption issue. It's not security issue bad that it needs to be
released tomorrow, but a backbranch release of at least 9.0/9.1 that
includes it would be a big relief for people nervous about this. I'd
hate to see that slip forward to where it gets sucked into the holiday
vortex.
