There's an even better reason to not MFC to 4.6.2.  The patches committed
so far don't fully fix the problem. :)

The patchset I'm sending around now have promise, but won't be fully
tested until the end of the week, so I'm not going to push for a merge
into 4.6.2.

The fact that it fixes Alexandr's problem is encouraging, though.
