As a follow up, we are pretty certain any fixes will not go into the 
upcoming 1.2.2 release. As mentioned before the fix is complicated 
and needs extensive testing. 

Making such a change would be too invasive on what is now a very 
stable CVS. Only bug fixes and very minor additions are going into 
that branch.

This is something we would target for 1.2.3cvs, once 1.2.2 final is 
released.
