I don't recall a "fix" for this going into -current, let alone -stable. It all came to light very late in the 3.2 game, and no body posted a good patch, as far as I can recall. The one patch that was posted was panned as being bad. I had planned on setting up a 3.2R system to see if this, and a small list of other problems, has been fixed or not.
