The last patches sent upstream yesterday are quite risky and we
are still testing these changes. However, the best way we found
was to put these changes upstream directly for even more thorough
testing.

We're still working on this and we expect some time (hopefully
short) to catch and fix all remaining bugs.

Thank you very much for the feedback. You're welcome to report
any other issues you hit. This will help us a lot to resolve all
remaining problems.
