The bug report contains a testcase illustrating the problem, and also a patch. In short, the recovery code is busted, even after the patch from David Mosberger. Attached is a copy of the patch from the bug report. I have a testcase which exercizes both the recovery3 and recovery4 paths if you're interested. Regards, -reese faucette
