Thanks,

merged at 2bb9c4bb257fe67f00a578cdd1bc41b6270ea27d into master.

Something that's certainly a candidate for stable I think, I'd like to
wait for outcome of other testing on (insert IBM internal bug number
here) so we can get a better complete explanation of what's being fixed,
and then we can cherry-pick.

cheers,
