The commit that this fixes was included in 3.4 - so I was thinking that this
should be backported to stable 3.4 ... but 3.4 isn't a long term release, so
it will be abandoned when 3.5 is released.

Since we are at -rc6 and this isn't a regression from the current merge,
I figured that it wasn't a candidate for immediate merge ... hence the
3.6 request. So it would appear that there isn't a way that this can make
it back to 3.4-stable.

I'll fix up all the other stuff and send a new pull (still for 3.6,
and still with
a Cc: stable for backport to 3.5)
