We've only seen the problem on 64 bit builds - but I guess it may
occur on 32 bit too, given the right version of gettext (they come
form different places for win32 vs. win64, so it's not entirely
straightforward to figure out).

So, it certainly needs to go to 9.0, and probably wouldn't hurt to put
it in 8.3/8.4 too.
