Sorry, I was not sure how to comment on the pullreq cover (everything
between the '---' lines get include in the merge commit description).

This fix a regression introduced during the current development cycle.
Already 3 different distributions hit this issue and complained (Suse,
ArchLinux and Fedora).
This is not a critical/security issue and distributions can easily
backport this patch, but since there is a RC4 planned, it would be nice
regarding distributors to fix this if possible.

Exactly.

Thanks,
