Cool. I'll take Balbir's patch for now, as at least it closes a window
where somebody could have an issue.

I'll revert this patch when looking at the stop4 enable series. For
anyone working the weekend though, they'll have one less surprise.

Merged to master as of 0a2710381f34e6b4c03cff1fa76bc1b74f280ecd
