Just fork it. I am sure that such antisocial step is the only way
forward, because I also have a patch that was not looked at for too
long, and then rejected because it breaks keystone correction (which
was broken in a different way before the patch).<div><div class="h5"><br>

Keith, we are approaching the one year
anniversary of this bug already. Maybe it is
time to finish the patch and leave the issue
behind?<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>fyi, I have been running my application
with the first version of Jonas's patch for 65
days straight now without a glitch (it used to
crash in less than 20 hours).<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I also intend to restart this long duration
test once the final patch will be released<br>
<br>

The problem is that reviewing this patch
is *really hard*. The last<br>
time, I think I spent a solid couple of
days thinking about this and<br>
making sure I'd caught all of the cases.
I'm still not sure it's right,<br>
but I guess it's probably better than
what we have?<br>
