Yeah, you told me that my patch was not straightforward, so I broke off
part of it for -stable that would fix just the most critical problem.

Look, I created a problem on some people's computer in 3.2. I feel
responsible for fixing it. I do not want their computers to hang because
of something I wrote, especially if there is a fix.

So, if I will say one more time. This patch is a fix for a regression,
caused by me, since 3.2. Please ask -stable maintainers to include it in
version in 3.2 and above.

If you want me to create a set of patches instead and then you backport
just one, let me know. I will do whatever is necessary to fix this
regression.
