 That sounds right, according to what I recall Christos having said.
 
 Hmm, he also said the fix would be in 7.0.1, iirc, so I don't know why
 it wasn't pulled up.  Strange.
 
 I think he suggested I rename that file as a workaround too, in the
 interim, but I already had a workaround in place, albeit a horrible thing,
 so I decided to just leave it since a proper fix would be coming along soon
 enough, I thought.  Well, I think so again now (and, thank you), but I
 decided to change to the cleaner file rename workaround this time anyway,
 in the remaining interim.  I renamed it to cgd0.pr49430 in order to
 remind me to undo it after 8 comes out.  Works fine.  And at least I'm
 finally rid of my ungainly, unseemly kludge.  Thanks for your efforts.
