Sorry, never said it was. 2.6.27 is just fine for this.
Since it has indeed been that way so long, I guess I figured
it was obvious this was not a last-minute-urgent sort of thing.

I figured Ingo would put it in one of his trees to be chewed on.

Aside from the test case, which I did indeed contrive after I
found the bug, and the general concern about races, I was only
bitten by this because it fouled up things for changes I'm
working on for .27 or later.


Thanks,
Roland
