Unless I missed it, I don't think I saw a response from anyone who had
tested the patch with success in the wild.

Automated testing is quite useful (kudos Ton and test case writers), but
to be honest, I don't really keeps tabs on the tinderbox build.  I'm
more used to yes/no/fail/pass acks from real people.

I'll cut 3.2.3 shortly to get the fix out to everyone.
