   It has been fixed.  I spotted the problem, and from Matt's commit 
message, it looked like there was probably a fix already for it.

   I also made the fix on my 4.0_BETA2 tree, and did an upgrade to 
4.0_BETA2 and verified that it will fix the problem there as well.  I'm 
going to submit a pullup request for that, hopefully today.
