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.
